This book is like a love letter to the people who disliked truly devious! This book took all the criticisms I had for that series and fixed them, which is fucking great!
1. The characters were interesting and didn’t get ridiculous amounts of uneventful scenes that didn’t further the plot.
2. The plot was the main focus of the story ALONG WITH THE CHARACTERS!!
3. The plot and the murder mystery was overall really interesting!
4. Even though in both the past and the present there were a lot of characters they felt distinct enough where I could differentiate them(I really struggled with this in the past portion of the truly devious books!)
5. The book is really atmospheric and I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of the morning house!
I really don’t have a lot of qualms with this book although I do wish that the divide from the past in comparison to the present could have been a little more distinct in way of writing(or I guess for me in way of narration because I read the audiobook).
Overall I think this is just a really solid book thats worth reading if you like murder mysteries! (PS: don’t go into this expecting like an actual thriller cause thats not it! I was not for a single moment in suspense or fear)
