I ate this book up… and the twist kept twisting. Solid read.

I really like the story but the ending ruined it a bit for me. It got very dramatic, intense and somehow unrealistic. But I must admit it was equally surprising.
A good read.

I have to confess, when I started this book, I found is slow and a tad boring. And I was surprised because this author is brilliant and one of my favorites. So, because I trust her and trust her brilliance, I went on reading, and oh boy, was I in for a surprise!
As the plot thickens, you get more invested in wanting to know what the heck happens. I had no idea who would die and who dunnit. And as the author presents us the different characters POV’s, I was more and more intrigued.
Lillian was a hot mess, Mike was the husband, calculating and dominant, Max was the best friend, cool and composed and so emphatic. Who can I choose?
Lillian was strangely obsessed with death, she was very talented at obituaries. Lenny, the father of one of her best obituary deaths, was her alcoholic partner. Their meet ups at the cemetery with drinks were a hoot. It was such a cast of intriguing characters! And I loved how the author throws out crumbs little by little so you get the whole picture, but not all at once, and not too fast either!
There’s no way to comment on the book, I don’t want to point the finger at anyone, you have to come in blind. Just enjoy the ride and prepare to have your mind blown and be hugely entertained by this thriller.

The best way I can describe this book, is that you're reading along, and you think you know what's going on (you don't), then the book takes a sharp left turn and the rest is just a wild ride of surprises!
(I did predict one of the surprises, but it didn't ruin the story at all for me really.)

This book had a twist that I was not expecting. I went in to this blind so I was a little confused on what direction it was going to take and then I was completely surprised. It was entertaining and kept my interest the whole time.
