 I’m a little bummed out because I had such high hopes for this one and it just wasn’t what I thought it would be! I know everyone said you should listen on audio but I read my BOTM copy. Some things just seemed a little too much and there were a few loose ends that weren’t tied up in the end. 

I didn’t really love any of the characters besides the grandma. I did find the dark humor to be entertaining and funny. I would recommend this book to people who are newer to thrillers. I don’t regret reading it but if I didn’t I wouldn’t have been torn up about it.
