I finished this book in two sittings. A really quick "who done it" style book. The writing is captivating and Freida McFadden always has the best twists and turns and unexpected things that just make sense. 

I would also love to live in the Winchester house, just not on the third floor 👀

Millie is a freaking G

This book reminded me a lot of “The Wife Between Us,” where narrative shifts keep readers questioning the ultimate end game until the very last word.
