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.

This was extremely fun and twisty, and I did not guess the ending because everyone was so sneaky!  I thought the characterization of the neighborhood dynamics was really believable. Ms. Lapena does these domestic issues so well, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. Also, moral is never trust a partner lol

This book was such a good read. The suspense kept me on edge that at certain points, it was hard to put down. I absolutely loved this book.

Another good beginner thriller. There are some twists that caught me off guard you don't know what character to believe and has an ending that leaves you wanting more. Also had like a gossipy aspect  to me but not in a bad, but I feel like added to it and made me want to read in one sitting.
