I really enjoyed this book. Jean Hanff Korelitz has great turns of phrase enabled by her willingness to use ten-dollar words (if they're the right words). Fun for me to look up words on my ebook and agree that it hit the right connotation, all while enjoying a well-paced plot that uses all the good hooks (short chapters, suspense, big reveals) to keep the momentum going.
