     When I finished this book I was surprised the murder wasn’t who I thought it was! But really I should have seen it coming, I think I just liked the character too much.  I think this book had a pretty unique and well-disguised villain. 
   Based on her other books, which I didn’t really like I didn’t have super high expectations, but this book was good and I’d read more mystery thrillers by her. 
           The writing was okay, but the style was a bit dry. The constant switching of POVs was confusing at first and I’m glad for the list of characters at the beginning of the book which I referenced frequently at the beginning.   There was soo many protagonists to start with it was really confusing. There was a lot of rep which was nice and I’m starting to see a lot more of it in mystery thrillers, especially YA ones. 
    The character development was more in finding out their backgrounds than the character’s really changing much. My favorite character was Manny for sure, he just seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. 
   The pace was about medium, and I would have preferred fast for this type of book, but I guess in the end it worked out. 
 I would recommend this book to both those new to mystery thrillers and to those who read a lot of them!
