Great suspense and build up during the entire book. Really kept you guessing. But, the ending kinda fell flat.

This is a good one! It's a fast read. It's just the right length, and best of all, it keeps you guessing until the very end. It gives the reader plenty of suspects and makes you question who you think did it. Back and forth, your mind will go.
Sheila and Fred Merton are a wealthy, middle-aged couple with three grown children, and one secret illegitimate child. When they are found murdered in their mansion, the hunt begins to find out whodunit! Was it one of the children, was it the long time nanny/housekeeper, was it Fred's sister, was it the illegitimate child's mother? Who knows? This one will take you on a rollercoaster ride.
5 stars.

Not an awful read, but not a particularly great one. I felt like we didn’t really get to know the characters there were so many main characters and you only really knew things about them that directly related to the story. Therefor, I didn’t feel particularly attached to the characters. It was pretty straightforward without any insane twists. I think if you read a lot of mystery books you’ll be able to see where it’s headed. But it was a rather unique storyline. Like I wrote at the beginning, not great but not awful. It’s not one I’d recommend to a friend, but was a quick read at least.
I honestly think I disliked every character in this book! Haha
I did not trust any of them, and it made it much more interesting to read and to try to figure out who did it.
I am definitely becoming a fan of Shari Lapena!

Maybe a spoiler…
What was Dan doing every night? Just stalking the house?
And why was Rose sickly and losing weight?
Did I miss those explanations?

Koukuttava, sopivasti jännitystä ja nopeatempoinen.
