I really liked this one! It was fast and entertaining. I kept updating my husband on my new theories as to whodunnit, so I was quite invested. However, after the ending was finally revealed, I found that several thoughts and actions characters took earlier in the story didn't align, and it seemed like the inner monologue was meant to keep the reader guessing instead of being the character's actual suspicions. Still a fun read, though! 7.5/10

I agree with what everyone is saying about the characters and the police investigation... I rounded up because I finished it in 2 days because I had to know what was going on. It did give a little bit of "and then there were none" ending, but I didn't see it fully coming. I did suspect the ending twist once or twice but not sure how it would've worked.

For almost all of the book I really enjoyed it, but the end was very rushed and the last couple chapters completly ruined the whole book for me. This seems to be a trend with the author of adding in a twist at the very end of her books but based on the 2 I've read, the twist is the same and both times makes absolutely no sense and completely takes away from the rest of the book. It's a lazy way to end her books and a disservice to her own writing. 
Main takeaway - good story idea,  but execution was very mid. I wasn't invested in the characters, the ending contradicts a lot of the book, and held some poor writing choices with random plot jumps and too many lucky coincidences. Felt like she was trying to write a movie/TV show but accidentally made it into a book instead of a script somehow.

girl what. the plot itself was very mid, and the writing…the writing was terrible. the narrators on the audiobook did the best they could with what they were given which wasn’t much. i’m usually not a stickler for that, but i truly can’t get past how bad the writing was. 

it was entertaining at times, and the ending did surprise me. 
overall though, i would not recommend. much better thrillers out there y’all.
