Thank you Netgalley for the free review copy!

I really enjoyed this book, it was a murder mystery with a queer main character and messy family dynamics.

I thought that all the red herrings of who the killer was were very well executed. I also really appreciated how messy all the characters were, Jess ane Liz just never really recovered from losing their mom so seeing them finally get to have some closure and work on being sisters again was a very raw and hard experience.

I think this story does a great job of showing long lasting trauma and vicitimization.
