I just couldn’t get into this book.
The first half was so slow, I kept wondering at what point Molly would be accused of murdering Mr. Black. I feel like if you’re going to include it in the plot summary, it should happen sooner than past the halfway mark. I felt the beginning half of the book was painfully slow and the last half was way too fast-paced. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending either. I think I could appreciate this book more if Giselle did end up being the killer. Instead the author threw in a “new” character at the last minute. It just seemed like a cheap way of throwing us a curve ball.
