I loved this book. The ending was predictable towards the end, but I had no idea when starting. Very shocking and overall an amazing murder mystery.

4.0

i loved slowly unraveling the mystery and meeting all the diverse characters. one of  the only issues i ever have with her books (other than the racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. obviously) is the sheer amount of characters. there are always a lot of characters and corresponding backstories that can get a little confusing at times.

Lots of casual racism and classism being used as THE solving logic. Very ignorant writing that spoils an otherwise good wind up.
