The mystery itself was well-plotted, and kept me guessing to the end, but I honestly didn’t like any of the characters. I felt like every single one of them was toxic, even the people who were supposed to be the protagonists we were rooting for (the people doing the investigating were fine). And the end scene was downright depressing and ultimately unsatisfying. For a beach read, I would want a much more satisfying ending.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a mystery, and this was a great way to get back into it. Extremely quick read - couldn’t put it down. Everytime i thought I had it figured out i was still a little bit off.Â
Personally, i wish I had a little bit more from some of the characters I really liked, such as the bride’s parents, the pregnant sister-in-law, and the groom.Â
The ending is satisfactory but still leaves you wanting a bit more.Â
Really liked the inclusion of the chief.Â
Difficult to track character development since it jumps around so much between characters and dates.Â
