A solid mystery with a great setting. Lots of characters to hate and lots of characters to root for.

My takeaway is that men and rich people are the villains and was happy for Barbara’s ending

Summer camp whodunit. Skipping back and forth in the timeline made reading somewhat disjointed. I also wish we spent less time with the investigator’s perspective and more time with the other characters.

A thrilling read that I couldn’t put down once I really got into the book’s plot—which took a little bit but reading the different perspectives was enjoyable enough to sustain my interest until I got to the nitty gritty of the story (which, once it appears, doesn’t stop and completely pulls you in). Barbara and Tracy are such compelling characters, as is Alice but I found her sections hard to read at times due to her pension for being insufferable. I loved the ending and was satisfied with the direction Moore took.
