Excellent mystery! I couldn’t guess who did it. I found the two protagonists to be fascinating and I loved them. The story makes sense and there’s so much going on that gets wrapped up beautifully. Highly recommend it as a lighter mystery to try to solve.

I really enjoyed this book! I'm working my way through Agatha Christie's work so this was extra fun. I didn't figure out the who-dun-it until later in the book, which is always a plus. I appreciate the domestic abuse part of the book as well. It added another layer to the book as did Alice's disappearance mystery. I also loved most of the characters. I really hope that there's a sequel, as the ending seemed open to that!
