This book is definitely not for the light of heart reader. While a great mystery, it does discuss and go into graphic detail of some very real and difficult topics. This mystery felt slightly different from others that I have read in that it really felt like we were going through the investigative process with the main characters the whole way. And if the reader was able to dissect the characters who were suspects along the way, the “plot” at the end may or may not have been as surprising as one would hope. All around it was a great read.

Ok I REALLY want to love this author, but I think i might be done 🫠 I’ve tried so many of her books + have enjoyed a couple but the majority are SO heavy on s*xual assault + this is the third in a row I’ve read of hers that has been overly graphic on this topic. I’m all for a dark plot but I’ve had enough of the rich-white-male character trope + the lurid detail in which they discuss this subject. It feels to me as though it’s used purely for shock factor + just seems to be the entire plot.
