This genuinely may be the worst book I’ve ever read. The writing, ending, character development, and story are just bad. It was the kind of bad that may be cringe and sigh with disappointment more than once. I unfortunately cannot recommend this book to anyone I want a cordial relationship with.

Okay so I knew who the killer was because of a Facebook post and I really was looking for hints of that character being the killer but there weren’t any just so many plot holes I also wish there were more court scenes all that being said the basis of the book was very interesting

I really liked this one! It was fast and entertaining. I kept updating my husband on my new theories as to whodunnit, so I was quite invested. However, after the ending was finally revealed, I found that several thoughts and actions characters took earlier in the story didn't align, and it seemed like the inner monologue was meant to keep the reader guessing instead of being the character's actual suspicions. Still a fun read, though! 7.5/10
