I needed a fantasy break because I've been losing pace, and this was the perfect switch. It starts with two people plotting a murder, and I loved reading from inside the criminal's head. I was always listening for their next mistake or screw up that would end it all. I've been struggling to read, but I ate this book up, and Swanson definitely got me with some twists

A wild cat & mouse story. Loved the multiple POVs and nods to Agatha Christie along with other famous mystery writers.
