This book was... something. It wasn't until I was about 60% in that I found myself actually enjoying it. Now this is one of my first murder mysteries so it might just be that this isn't my genre. It's written very well, hence why my rating is as high as it is but the plot is just... idk it's lacking something for me.

Not to mention by the end of the book, the characters I did like had died and the characters I thought I liked I ended up hating. Justice for Delilah, get her out of this deranged family.
