Thought this was a good debut novel, and I am intrigued to see how it plays out on the small screen, as Emma Stone and Dave McCary’s Fruit Tree has gained the rights with HBO Max to make this a series. Think the twists and turns and psychological aspect could be interesting on screen- if done well- the ending will shock some, but for me I found it a bit predictable. Still enjoyed it though. Nice pallet cleanser from my usual gruesome reads of Karin Slaughter.
