I probably would have enjoyed more if I had not watched the Netflix show. The book screams cash grab to me. Except for the very beginning and very end, the book does not jump between timelines like the show which works well for the flow of the book. There is one major plotline from the show that was not in the book. Other than those changes, the book is almost identical to the show down to dialogue, descriptions, and facial expressions. The internal monologue of each character (book told from POV of Charlotte, George, Brimsley, and Agatha) does little to expand on what is well portrayed in the show so ultimately what was the point of this book? It's just a novelization of a script.
