This is such a good mystery. I love Lucy Foley's style of writing multi-perspective books as it makes you question what you really know about the characters. She is great at leading you off the scent of what actually happened to Ben, and the mystery is written perfectly.

Personally didn't love it. The characters were gross and creepy and I didn't find myself inves ed  in any of them. The mystery  was interesting and the twists were good but ultimately the characters were just sad and the story was depressing.

I might have enjoyed the twist at the end but by that point I was not really invested in any of the characters and mainly just wanted to finish to see what happened.

I could see this being enjoyed more by people who can visualize while reading and are more immersed in a book. I still don’t think it would be 5 stars for me because I think I prefer when a book doesn’t seem to be holding information back just for the sake of a plot twist later. If too much is directly hinted at ahead of time it frustrates me. Could work for a different type of reader where it might build suspense. 

Overall, I think I’m not the target audience.
