First book of 2024!
In many ways this book reminded me of Paul Tremblay's Pallbearers Club, but if it had been executed well.
I suppose that is because there is this untrustworthy, mostly unlikable, but somewhat sympathetic pov character. But somehow in this one I just had more fun reading.
If I'm honest I couldn't put it down! Very compelling mystery.
