Loved how she made us love each character, and how the mystery unfolded slowly and naturally as we changed POV throughout the book.

WOW!!  Loved this book so much!! It was even better than The Rose Code. There were tons of twists throughout, and the narrative style was incredible. Set up as a whodunnit, but you don’t know the victim, and then each chapter delves into a different resident of the house. It also gave a voice to “the house,” which was super interesting and not something I’ve ever seen done before.

This book was engaging, fast faced, and kept me on my toes. I loved the unique premise and the deep historic accuracy woven throughout the story. Perhaps one of the things I loved most about the book was the ability to read each character and thus see how each character perceived the others. All the women in the story felt undeniably real to me.

This book does not get a five star rating because there is a very small plot regarding birth control and women’s fertility which does not pay homage to the long tragic history of eugenics and violence against women of color in that area.
