I am trying to read more mystery this, and this book was on my to read list. I enjoyed. I really like stories that have multiple points of views and are multifaceted, such as this one. The mystery and the reveal was not super shocking. I kind of expected it but dynamic of different socioeconomic classes of people kept me engaged
