It Could Be Anyone by Jaime Lynn Hendricks
3.0

Everyone has secrets and it could be anyone who committed the murder of a man that some could justify...deserved it.

This is a very fast-paced story with a group of friends attending the wedding of their friend, Fiona, and the multitude of secrets that they each tightly hold on to. My favorite aspect of this story were the secrets. The skeletons in each character's closet had an interesting way of intersecting with other secrets and the enigmatic connections were intriguing.

The one major aspect of this story that didn't vibe with me was the surface-level writing. It worked well for a quick read with interesting ideas, but it didn't allow for me to become entrenched in these characters, their motivations, their successes and failures. I also found the end to be abrupt and unsatisfying. I was hoping that
Spoilerwe would get a chapter from Fiona at the end and she would play some part in the demise of her own husband.


I believe this book had a fantastic idea for a thrilling story and I enjoyed how the author crafted the characters and their secrets, therefore, I look forward to giving this author another try and hope for more of a connection.
