4.0

If you’re after an addictive, twisty thriller, this would be the book I’d recommend to you. Will the plot and the characters stick with me? No, probably not, but it was all really well written, despite every character being quite unlikeable (even the ones that we should have liked - the concierge?). The reveals and the twists were fed through the second half of the book at a good pace, as I was kept interested and guessing - but the first half was a bit slower. Probably my favourite Lucy Foley read so far.
