This audiobook took me forever to read, which is weird because I was enjoying it. 

I jusy love reading about rich people drama. The beginning of this was really good and I was interested, but then in the middle I was kind of bored because it just felt repetitive. I wish there was more present chapters because I would honestly forget that someone was killed. *slight spoiler* Then the last little bit was actually shocking because I didn’t expect such a dark topic to be in this.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.

Listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it - the voice acting was great and the plot was intriguing. I did find some of the writing repetitive, but the ending really saved the whole book for me.

I hope I never have to interact with any of these Karen's. This story is all about white shenanigans and how not everyone is your friend. Wasn't my favorite book. At one point I just wanted it to be done so I Googled the ending. I still finished the book despite spoiling the ending for myself. 

How did the detective not figure this thing out? Because in my humble opinion everything worked out perfectly for the women and they got off scotch free. Also these women talk to much. How are they going to keep this secret? They all like to backstab each other when they feel they will get the upper hand.
