I really enjoyed this book and found it entertaining, but I do think it could’ve been better. The flashbacks to Daisy’s childhood, while providing some nice context, dragged on a little too much compared to the rushed ending. I understand the author was trying to help us understand the characters and their flaws, but it was so slow and dragged the pace down from the present-day murder mystery chapters. I definitely think we could’ve had quicker summaries of character flaws and used those extra pages at the end of the book.

Alice Feeney is surely the queen of dualpovs and plottwists.
Even though I was really invested in this story, I didn't like it as much as her other books.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a masterpiece, but something spoiled it for me (the ending).
All in all it was a great read, by a great writer and I look forward to reading more of her stories.
