This was a mystery that I could not put down, and I finished in one day. I was deeply invested in the main character, and the bits of the past that were intertwined with the present.

I wasn't expecting who the killer was at all, and it really took me off guard! I did feel like there was a disconnect about Luke, I mean it was implied he was a manipulator/sociopath? and I feel like they built it up a little too much to be a red herring. Other than that great read!

This was surprisingly good! I didn’t know much about it going in. But it was fast paced and kept me thinking. I guessed the “who” but certainly not the “why”. 

I do still want to know what the go is with Lachies father but that’s not a big deal. And also I’m not 100% happy with the last chapter.
