3.0

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.
