Read a few pages and it didn't grip me as much as I was hoping, so I skipped through and skimmed a few sections throughout, especially toward the end. It feels very "cis-het gated community with a lot of casual alcoholism". The vibe I got for the plot was that things would happen around the house that only the woman main character would notice, she would discover clues and try to solve a murder (s); and her partner would not believe her/gaslight her/insist she let it go. Then she would figure out the clues and almost be murdered, but make it through in the end.

Je l'ai lu sur recommandation car le plow twist etait étonnant et pas mal ... Au final je n ai pas été aussi surprise que prevu néanmoins la lecture est agréable on s'embrouille vite on pose plein de possibilités... Lecture agréable dans l'ensemble !
Wow, it's been a long time since a book sucked me in like that. It only took me a few hours to read. It was a good mystery - not a lot actually happened, but I couldn't put it down.
I don't think there was any language, no bedroom stuff, and nothing overly graphic.

A hard 3 stars. A quick read that slows down a bit. It does pick back up. Alice’s behavior did annoy me, but it eventually made sense. That is all.
