I LOVED THIS ONE. Had me guessing the whole time, switches I didn’t see coming and I loved to hate some of these characters

Not my favorite Frieda book but still good.

Figured out part of the twist about halfway through but didn't fully guess the correct villan. Lots of clues but also misdirects to make you assume something different. The dual storyline/POV was good and had a twist of its own. One of the better stories by McFadden.
