This book was so good! It kept me guessing the entire time; I could not put it down.

The execution of this book is just so flat and robotic to me, it was really hard to get invested when the climax and resolution and "plot twists" had no impact at all. It also didn't help that the foundation of this whole mystery is built on the characters being wildly stupid in a way to make you mad rather than to prove a point. Not gonna spoil it but the finding out who the culprit does not sit quite right with me too especially given the cast that is presented in this story lol.

There were some good/interesting things that I liked such as the the kids story line and the medical malpractice story line but they just didn't go anywhere by the end of it. Overly a lackluster experience.
