A very dark murder mystery and then some. The characters were all well fleshed out, flawed, realistic yet likeable.

I guessed the biggest mystery within the first hundred pages of the book, which made finishing it not as fun.

Such a dark story

and you can't help but be glad that Noelle ends up murdered(?) honestly. Ellie's death was so sad and wasteful!

From the three books of hers that I've now read Jewell never really sticks the landing imo -- she does plot-wise but not from a narrative/delivery point of view.

Like here I thought the Floyd chapters sucked if I'm honest and the final note from Ellie wasn't necessary.
