I liked that there was multiple suspects and everyone had something to hide. I had a feeling who did it but it wasn't super obvious, everyone is suspicious. I also read lots of thrillers and still wasn't 100% sure who the culprit was. My three star rating is because the ending was a little bit disappointing.

Really good! I tend not to love non-fantasy or sci-fi books, but this really held my attention. Amazing performance by Kirsten Potter. She did such a great job with all the different characters and their emotions. The plot was very twisty and turny up until the very end! Definitely a guessing game.

4.5

This book was exactly what I wanted and expected it to be. A fast paced, not overly complicated murder mystery with a very real cast of characters. It was easy to empathize with Olivia and Glenda especially- two stressed mothers who just want to protect their sons. I heard someone say that this book brings to life our worst fears about our children and I couldn’t agree more. The characters are just so real it made me so tense thinking that I could be just like them in this situation. Definitely recommend picking this one up! I finished it in less than 2 days.
