The minute I started reading I literally didn’t stop until I finished it! I’d say that’s a good Saturday!

Spoiler free don't worry, mainly just trying to temper expectations.

I liked it, like I don't regret reading it but as a girly who will happily skip hop and jump over plot holes, this had so many in it that it felt like a net... 
I'm a very mind off reader so details don't usually bother me much, but so much focus would be placed on certain details to make you expect for it to be a key point in the case, just to be ignored completely. It made the whole thing feel.... Unfinished. if you are someone who likes to analyze books, look for hidden meanings, gets irritated by small plot holes, or are just used to patterns in books so you're pretty good at guessing general direction and then are thrown when the story takes a random uncharted turn.... Then this probably isn't for you. 
If you are someone who this isn't your normal genre and you just want a fast paced read that is interesting enough to keep your attention and otherwise you just numb skull your way through, then this might be a nice read. 
For context, I'm usually a high fantasy girly and just honestly needed a break into something reality based and this did it. However people who read actual down to earth content would state you need to suspend your disbelief in this one so take it as you will. 
I neither loved or hated the ending, I definitely see better ways it could've gone or been built to but it's fine, feels like a cheap win but is what it is.

Minor: Sexual content

This book does contain sexual scenes which considering the premise I wasn't 100% expecting. They're not too often but definitely caught me by surprise.

This genuinely may be the worst book I’ve ever read. The writing, ending, character development, and story are just bad. It was the kind of bad that may be cringe and sigh with disappointment more than once. I unfortunately cannot recommend this book to anyone I want a cordial relationship with.

Okay so I knew who the killer was because of a Facebook post and I really was looking for hints of that character being the killer but there weren’t any just so many plot holes I also wish there were more court scenes all that being said the basis of the book was very interesting

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.
