I enjoyed the premise of the story, three women in different times facing interconnecting challenges of bullying and manipulation. It’s a difficult story to review without revealing spoilers. However, it didn’t quite deliver for me in the end. The twists were not entirely believable or satisfying though the central murder plot was well done.
