Between a 3.5 and a 4 for this one! I thought I had it all figured out about 60% in, but it throws you a few more surprises.

Enjoyed this entertaining read. The mystery is woven well and it surprised me at many turns. It is similar to other Lucy Foley books so if they worked for you then this should too.

I was invested in the first half as it set up all the characters but I found the ending to not have as much reward as I invested in. Save for a point around the halfway mark, nothing came as a particular shock to me.

Pretty good! A bit slow to start and, at times, slightly predictable, but when it got me it got me GOOD.
