It was too easy as a reader to look at the letters of confession and know who could not have written them. However the plot twist at the end did nothing feel entirely earned. It came out of left field without much to substantiate it and honestly made a lot of the emotion I invested in some of the characters feel a bit wasted?
Overall, the side characters who could have been compelling fell flat. We didn’t see enough of Fosca and the Maidens (in my opinion) and the Maidens we did see were hard to get a feel for.
Overall, I want to love this book. And it’s fun enough — until the very end with the very last reveal. That’s where it lost me. Solid read but fell a hit short for me.

I did not love the mystery. The singular focus of the MC made it hard to decipher who else it could be with little foundation.
And the twist, it felt like it came out of nowhere. I am of the mind that I want a twist to have plausibility. I do not want just shock value.
This book was just not my cup of tea. However, I am not a big mystery/thriller reader so other reviewers might offer something much more insightful than me!
