4.0

It has a nice rhythm. It kept me entertained and also it was pretty nice to see the characters thinking throughout the book. The author established that Stevie is a crime aficionado and obsessed with the Ellingham case so it’s nice to her indulge in her hobbies and her experience. Also even though it was an amazing read, definitely very slow beginning. It took like about 200-ish pages to get into the good nice mystery thriller part. And a lot is still left to uncover. Definitely worth it but time consuming.
