This book is much slower paced compared to A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series. There were several parts where there is an obvious way to do something, but the character chose to complicated way to make their life harder... Definitely a different kind of plot twist from the series. This is more of a disappearance/reappearance mystery, family mystery than murder mystery. Maybe suspense, not quite thriller.
My favorite line is "I'm hungry" 😂 iykyk (audiobook version)

I loved it, what a great addition to my Holly Jackson collection. Enjoyed the twists and they just wouldn’t stop. It was a great read, I love a good mystery.
