4.0

Oooo the salacious Desperate Housewives vibes are plentiful in this one. 

While some plot points (teenage boys + 30 year old women for maybe 10 total pages) made me almost want to throw this against the wall, it did have redeeming qualities.

Just remember that we really aren’t supposed to root for any singular person when it comes to mysteries/thrillers.

Good read for a summer weekend or vacation read.
