good god i could not like a single character in the book and just when i thought one was likeable they'd do something stupid and like. all of them are evil so why would i want any of them to get what they want instead of what they deserve? and only one or two of them does (get what they deserve)!! But due to corruption of the police force and wrongful incarceration of two teen boys (even though they are certainly growing into bad people) a young (presumably) white girl gets to go free from TWO murders!! awful
if you're looking for a bunch of evil white (presumably, it's never stated otherwise) people fucking each other over, I guess this is your book, but i hope you don't plan on enjoying your time with any of them.
If you care about corruption in the police force and wrongful incarceration this book will probably only piss you off.
The first twist aboutthe missing husband was satisfying, but I honestly was frustrated by anything else.
Also, at the end, the book started to feel like it was second person, like the characters were communicating inner dialogue to me directly, and it didn't feel right, but it was just more bad on top of everything else.
