Upon reflection this book is similar to 'We were Liars' anf the Knives out Film set around a dysfunctional family full of secrets. It's a very fast paced book full of interesting characters who kept getting murdered in different ways. Darker was the main narrator of the book and the plot twist at the end she was actually dead i did not see coming nor how she had actually died. I did think the Nana was faking her death and likely responsible for some of the killings but again I did not guess Trixie was also involved in the killings and that she had the same heart condition. This is one of the best psychological thrillers I have read in a while and I look forward to reading more from Alice.

I saw the major plot twist coming from a mile away, but it was still overall enjoyable and creepy!
