3.5 🌟 

CW: Murder,  infertility, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, child abuse, animal death/hunting, outing, PTSD, Afghanistan war flashbacks, death, cheating, toxic friendships, stalking

🌟 Thriller

Every character in this book bar Heather and Doug are AWFUL. I don't think I've ever seen so many unlikeable characters in the one place 🤣 I could not wait to find out who the victim was, never mind the perpetrator, because it could've been any of them and I'd still have been delighted. There was no way for me to be disappointed here.

It’s a Lucy Foley book so if you’ve read one before and liked it, you’ll like this. Somehow I felt kinda bad for Miranda in the end? Like Regina George?

Out of Lucy Foley's 3 murder mysteries, this is definitely my least favourite. However, that is not to say that this is a bad book, because it's not. This book is a great first mystery that combines the difficult inter-workings of friendships and an establishing plot-line that puts all the characters in an abstract and very solitary situation. The book does not drag and the story is incredibly easy to follow; props to Lucy Foley for being able to write a 0% confusing mystery novel that jumps back-and-forth in time and also utilizes multi-perspective chapters. I will say that this book seemed quite fast and the ending was incredibly abrupt which is a pattern I've noticed in Foley's literature.
