Quick, easy read. Part two moved a lot faster, but the ending was just meh. Unsatisfying. Still a fun read for those who are fans of true crime (and fictional crime?). I also noticed a few grammatical and spelling errors. "Moent" (supposed to be "moment") on page 230 being the worst of them🥴. It kept my attention, but was overall just ok.

Great story with good twists. Was shorter than most thrillers, didn’t love the writing style but the story kept me
