There were really graphic pieces in this story, please review content earnings before reading. My god, did she seem to add anything you could think would be a trigger in this book. But it wasnt the entire time, from about midway to the last half the story seemed to plateau and become about the sisters relationship. It felt like the Kelly Wilson story was side stepped and not an urgent thought anymore. I began running out of pages and thinking how in the hell will she wrap this up? And then she did but it felt too quick, almost rushed, like she was only allowed 500 pages from her editor or something.

All that aside I did enjoy the story especially the first half, if you're into mystery and are familiar with her work you will definitely enjoy. Still cautioning due to the graphic depictions of violence.
