3.0

3.5/5 stars
spoiler-free


This book was a quick, easy read of mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was generally consistent.

Contemporary mysteries are not my usual genre of book; I tend to lean toward the action based novels, so it did not earn full stars for me.

At times, I found myself resisting the urge to scream at the characters for various reasons. First of all, who names their kid "Nearly"?! I found it a bit strange. Sometimes Nearly clearly didn't use her head, and that got to me. Some things were a bit unrealistic and difficult to understand why that would happen in a present day novel.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but, again, was not the full-star-earner I was hoping for.
