Trigger warnings for: loss of a child and suicide.

Oh wow! My first time reading this author and I loved every minute of it!
I won't give away the synopsis because the less you know the better but I will say I enjoy legal/courtroom to thriller and a large portion of the story was just that.

Upon reading the beginning, I didn't see where the mystery aspect came in but then one liners were delivered that planted a seed here and a seed there and then one reveal after another started to take place towards the end of the story and I was hooked.

My only qualm is the ending. It was abrupt, out-of-nowhere and left the story incomplete. I wanted to see the fallout and the whole family dynamic after secrets are revealed but alas we are left with an open ending. I feel this aspect could have been explored if the middle section was cut down a little as it was a little long and did start to drag a little.

I don't like open endings but each to their own in this case.
