Would’ve given this a five, except that I was frustrated by the ending. Storytelling was well done. All throughout the book, I had more information than any of the characters at any point in the story, but still, there were multiple red herrings to get through. And even though I had parts figured out in advance, including what really happened that night, which was only revealed at the very end, I was frustrated because there were multiple time lines, and the present time line was too abrupt for me.

ending  felt like too many twists that didn’t all add up or feel complete. Ending was too graphic for me. No loveable characters

I could not have guessed the ending, what a twist! But it did make sense and it was a great whodunnit. Devastating though.
