Picked this is without realizing it was a series, but this read just fine as a stand-alone. Absolutely loved it from start to finish. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!

3.5 rounded up to 4. I didn’t get invested in it until almost half way through, but after that I wasn’t certain where the story was going to go. I like how interconnected it all became. Very satisfied with the ending.
I think it is the weakest book of the three. But still entertaining, at least the first 2/3.
Martha is married to Alan, however she sees some patterns between his work travels and news about murders - they overlap. She reaches out to her college friend, Lily, who helped her break up with her abusive boyfriend, Ethan, while in college.
The story jumps from current timeline to back in college and we get a fuller picture of their relationship.
The one thing I did not care for was the rushed ending, and the last chapter could have been excluded - not sure how much it helped the story. More of a 3.5 stars.

This book was fine. I feel like the trope of the serial killer who tells us all about his inner mind and how clever he is has been overdone.
My favorite part, by far, in this book was Lily and her parents’ life in Shepaug. Their interactions were interesting to read, and I particularly liked the character of David.
There were a few blatant inconsistencies in this book, though, that drove me nuts! Martha and Alan honeymooned in London (a detail that didn’t need to be included) and later, tritely apparently, they honeymooned in Niagara Falls.
Lily is kidnapped in green corduroys that we are told multiple times she is not taken out of, but later on they transform into jeans.
I also thought Martha’s age seemed off given the timeline we were given, but it was only a couple of years and math isn’t my strong suit, so I’ll give them that one.
Overall - not a bad book, but I wouldn’t describe it as thrilling or twisty. It had a fairly interesting plot, but the editing could be tightened up a lot.

Incredibly mediocre, but a book that knows exactly what it is and I respect that. Some fun twists, and pretty fast paced. All in all, a fine read.
I got the feeling when reading this that it was a sequel but couldn't find the information. I looked it up after and realized I had actually read the first book in the series and had honestly just been bored. This is at least an improvement over the other books.
