fast-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? No

I surprisingly really liked this. The dialogue was pretty natural & while I was pretty sure who the murderer was the story kept me second guessing myself.

I thought this was going to be just another crime podcast thriller, but by 40% I was completely hooked. It was gritty, fast paced, with sarcastic humor, and a hilarious vodka-loving grandma.

I loved reading this book and I think the storyline was so good. I will say, however, that my favorite thing about this book is the unreliable narrator. Do I know if the ending is what really happened? No I don’t, and the fact that I don’t know makes this book so much better in my eyes.
