Another page Turner for Shari Lapena!

While this book was entertaining, it was also very redundant. It could have been 50 pages shorter for sure. It seemed like we went over the same thing/scenarios over and over again for about 100 pages. Finding out who the killer was wasn’t hard to do.

I think I couldn't get invested in this because there really wasn't anyone to root for: every character is selfish and acting only in their own self-interest. Obviously that is realistic for some families (especially coming from wealth), but I just didn't care who got what portion of the estate or who killed the parents.
