Twisty murder mystery.
I went into my reading relatively blind, and expected it to be a retelling of “Strangers on a Train” (plane) but it definitely surpassed that.

Spoiler
All of the characters were unlikeable at best and sociopaths at worst. I enjoyed Lily’s chapters more. I found Ted to be repugnant and I ALMOST DNF’d based on his early chapters. The narrator also got under my skin to make it worse. After he died, I enjoyed the story more.
