This book took a little while to get me hooked, but once it did, I couldn’t put it down.
I find I always judge a mystery by how quickly I put together what was happening. Lucy does a great job of throwing readers off the scent while leaving enough breadcrumbs to make them feel smart and “in the know” Throughout. While some details were off, I was able to predict the general idea of the ending before it was revealed. Overall this book had good twists, but not as shocking as some of her other work.
