Another book club read! This was...fun. Nothing spectacular or groundbreaking, just a quick holiday thriller to pass the time.

Basic writing, basic story, and I did get surprised by the "twist" but
if I had known they were twins, I probably would have guessed it - and maybe it was established prior but I don't remember reading it anywhere!


The first half being told exclusively through dairy entries was fun. Almost wish the second half was told exclusively through newspaper articles.
