I give 4 because it was a dark murder mystery… kept you guessing. And once you figured it out, it still kept you interested and adding new angles and story lines. Hard to read at time due to intense violence toward women.

Main character is Mia, a daughter of Korean immigrants. This story is  Heartwarming. A in debt tale a family during Covid navigating a tragedy. It was interesting, and so well written! Brought in scientific research, funny tangents, great character development… wanted a different ending, but it definitely kept me engage the whole time.
