4.5

This is a well-done and fast paced read. Some parts are disturbing and hard to read of course.  There were a few things that did not make sense-such as how (spoiler alert) Enzo did not take action even though he knew there were problems in the house. The daughter’s behavior toward the maid is also a bit confusing-why is she so mean? It seemed to be a bit over the top and unnecessary. Overall, the book is a worthwhile read and will keep you on your toes!
