This is my second book of Lucy Foley that I read. Some parts were predictable, however there was a plot twist that I didn't see coming. I preferred "The Paris Apartment" over this book. Overall, it was a decent read, not too thriller-ish but more of a mystery.

I could NOT put this book down. I loved the seamless storytelling of different perspectives on every chapter, and how each character's point of view intertwined with the others as the story went on. Mysterious setting with excellent plot twists; the use of the characters' past blending in with the present was very well done. I savoured the smooth reading without overanalysing the 'whodunnit' aspect, and was very excited and practically mindblowned upon reaching the climax of the book. Absolutely enjoyed myself with this one!

i had my suspicions about the ending but i’m bad at guessing endings so i really try not to do it. i loved how this book wrapped up because it was still interesting even after you find out who died and even after you find out who did it

This book started off slow and I wasn’t quite sure I was going to enjoy it, but it picks up halfway and really gets good. 

The premise of all the characters gets having secrets is intriguing and I enjoyed that some secrets were hinted at enough that I could guess them (and feel the rush at being right) and others were obscured enough that the reveals felt thrilling. 

The ending is wow, best twist, definitely worth it! So good!
