A domestic mystery that sadly didn't live up to the hype in my opinion with an extremely predictable plot twist.

I really loved this book! Who would have thought a book about a kindergartner would be so heartbreaking, funny, and lighthearted all at once

I love a book that makes me gasp out loud and that happened multiple times as I got nearer and nearer to the end.

The Saxon banks reveal?????? I’m not sure how i didn’t see it coming but it fully got me

I love the momentum the story takes on as more is revealed and how I was taken in just as easily as some of the characters right up until crucial pieces of info were given, I love how ambiguous the interview sections are but also how they give a little more context about the end every time, idk i just liked this a lot, I was fully sucked in

I think this is my first 5 star rating in a very very long time. I devoured this. And it was my first ever audiobook listen!! This book took me by surprise. I knew nothing about it and only borrowed it because it was available to borrow instantly. I loved this one! It started out confusing but then quickly became very intriguing and interesting. The style of writing was great!! The characters were amazing and all likeable even though they were glaringly human. Loved this book and while I may reduce it to 4.75, it was brilliant and easy but also dark. Great lessons in there and very creative.
