Read if:
- you're looking for another mystery/thriller and like Ruth Ware (but there are other title's I'd recommend before this one)
So. Here we have a pretty average Mystery/Thriller that was pretty straight forward. Not much to write home about honestly. The main character and narrator was also kind of forgettable. Not sure if its supposed to feel "self-insert MC" but she's just defined enough to not be relatable but not defined enough to be memorable. I was entertained enough as the story unfolded (felt very classic mystery novel format). It felt like each suspect was introduced and squashed pretty quickly but the book still felt 100 pages too long. Just kinda bummed about it but was entertained enough to not DNF.
Also, was it just me or did Hannah have the revelation of the how & why twice?
