Very good murder mystery!! Lots of twists and theories!

I’m a huge McManus fan, so I’m very disappointed no not be giving this a higher rating. I don’t think this is as good as her previous works, but still enjoyable and her romance subplots never fail to entertain me.
The story dragged on a lot in the first half. After this, one thing happened after the other and it was exhausting to keep up.
I didn’t really enjoy the abrupt ending. It was pretty much just Brynn making a theory, confronting the person, and that person denying it and the story ends. There’s no proof either to her theory, so I just find it very unsatisfactory.

Cute book. Love the slightest bit of romance there is and the mention of another series she wrote in chapter 43 when One of Us is Lying is brought up cause Mikhail Powers bought Ellie flowers after the accident.
