I don’t want to sound rude but I truly did not enjoy this book. I feel it read like a 10th grade creative writing assignment. I wouldn’t recommend this to friends, but maybe to a casual reader looking for a fun mystery or something! There’s somebody for every book!

Definitely the darkest and most complex book by Lucy Foley that I've read! And that's saying something. I love the plot twists in this story and found myself once again with a board filled with the characters, clues, suspects and guesses I had while trying to unveil the web they have spined.
