This started off really strong and I was super invested in the mystery and drama, but by the last 20%, I was struggling to care about what happened. By then, my only concern was "is Leonora's poor cat ok and safe??" I had really high expectations, as I love the author, but this is the weakest book I've read by her. Still well-written and interesting. Just didn't have me in a chokehold like Mexican Gothic did.
