You know as I was reading I knew this wasn't going to be my favorite thriller, but Alice Feeny was the 1st ever thriller author I've ever read so I decided to give her another go after all this time considering I've been craving a thriller. Now the first 60 pages or so are very slow, almost reaching dnf territory but I decided to trust the process and it definitely did get more interesting after that. Lots of red herrings and misdirects. There were some dull parts, but I was enjoying my time overall until 90%-ish when we found out the "big twist". I already guessed who the murderer was, but the twist had me subconsciously rolling my eyes. Like c'mon.

I will say this till I'm blue in the face, but I can't stand when thriller authors make a non-supernatural story supernatural just for shock value. It will always feel like a cop-out to me. I did like the reason behind why Trixie and Nana murdered the family though. It was sweet, macabre, but sweet.

This book was approaching a solid four stars until the twist, but it was an okay book overall. Oh also, something that irked me was how deliberately poetic the author was trying to make this book. Like it felt like every paragraph was filled with some nonsensical metaphor.

I don't often give out 5 star ratings, I don't often LOVE books. This book is perfect. It is so complex, so well done, so twisty, so sad, so much better than anything else in the genre. Wow. Fans of murder mystery fiction: you must read this book.
