I didn’t enjoy this book, yet I still finished it. I mostly listened to it during walks. It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t finish it, but I didn’t find it captivating.

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.

Shari, what the hell?! I have more questions than answers with that ending. What a ride though. So many characters to keep track of with so many secrets but the biggest secret of all I feel like was never revealed! Ugh. A classic Shari Lapena read.

It was a fun read :) Very mysterious and I think I followed the right line of suspicion over who the murderer was correctly :) Fun

I was sceptical abt this one bc it’s not usually the type of thing that I read but a sure fire way to get me hooked on a book is excessive amount of drama. I felt like i was watching a season of desperate housewives it was crazy. I was thoroughly entertained and didnt expect the killer to be who it was
Robert is a psychopath and despite all the evidence I was still expecting him to be the killer and I was shook at the end when he admitted to even thinking abt killing Amanda himself and like the phone is kissing now what happens will there be a sequel i gotta know ?!

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.

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
