Was eager to read more of Flynn’s work after loving Sharp Objects, and this one really satisfied me. Very clever novel , just when I thought I knew where it was heading it kept surprising me. I love Flynn’s writing style and characters, though it did feel a bit familiar to Sharp Objects (troubled woman with past trauma meets unlikely man who helps solve things) but I didn’t mind this. Loved it!
