First, this novel provided a very slow beginning and was very heavy on tell, don't show... and one of the basic premises was rather unbelievable, the hidden cameras at the world's most exclusive hotels/resorts which somehow manage to remain secret and the fruits for blackmail. The tension did build in the second half of the novel but so did the unbelievability.

I really enjoyed the plot. It's not blazingly original but the characters were written well, and the writing on general was good.

Depressing because this could have been a really fun read with a decent plot but the writing was just so annoying. Overly descriptive, some sentences that just went on for AGES which made my eyes glaze over. Blah. Probably could have lost about 100 pages without all that.

DNF. I got to 38% and could no longer go on. The pace of the story was painfully slow.

Just truly irredeemable people plus my least favorite trope of all time: you're pregnant dummy

This was a very surprising read, it wasn't your usual mystery. Its from the perspective of three women, and they provide some very interesting perspectives. It really wasn't what I was expecting but I actually really enjoyed it.

I liked the premise but the writing was not my style

I wanted to really like this book but it was just entirely too long for the premise. Had it been edited down into a tight short story, it would have been perfect. Just like all of Reese’s picks, this would make a better mini-series or movie.

I wanted to love this book….I just could not get into it. Too many characters and the story line was jumpy. I found myself having to go back and refresh my memory on who was who and how they fit into the story line. A good concept, maybe a better movie than a book???
