I added content warnings because I generally don't read books that have children injured or killed, so I'm not sure why I picked this one. I didn't realize the extent the book would cover the children's death. That doesn't have anything to do with the 3.5 stars, its just my warning to other readers. Despite the above, I did keep reading and enjoyed the book. For me a 3 is ok, a 4 really good and I personally withhold 5 starts for something really special or something that touches me. I did have the who of the of one of the twists figured out, I just didn't know the way. And I knew the who & why of one of the other murders as soon as it happened. So 3.5 stars because it was a good book, good storyline but I wasn't wowed. Would recommend to others with the content warning ahead of time.
