Spoiler
The resolution of my mystery seemed to come out of nowhere precisely because the author gave absolutely no foreshadowing. And Ellie seems like an afterthought. Scott's character changed so fast it almost gave me whiplash.Maybe my standards are just too high for mysteries. I did finish it, it was pretty easy to get through, but I'm left feeling more hollow.
Graphic: Child death and Death of parent
Moderate: Alcoholism
Minor: Sexual violence, Animal cruelty, and Pregnancy
