This was the perfect mystery! Not creepy, just full of twists that kept me reading and needing to know what was going to happen! The book keeps flashing back to various points in the past that fleshed out the story happening in real time…this back and forth writing style really kept me hooked as I tried to figure out motives and reasons for each of the family members involved. And wow what a surprising ending it was for me! I definitely had theories and suspicions, but the finale was very satisfying once it was all resolved.

A little disappointing, I thought it was going to have a more thrilling plot line. There were still a lot of surprises and an interesting ending.
