AMAZING. I loved it so much, I don't even think I have any criticisms with it, because I LOVED it. Karen M. McManus has the best twists, absolutely.

Was a captivating read. Lots of family secrets. Lots of unlikable characters. Probably won’t stick with me for long though.

A very good mystery! I was surprised by the twists! They all got me. It didn’t wrap up the way I hoped in the end but I definitely could not put it down. A great mystery thriller for anyone looking for one. Reminds me a lot of Ruth Wares novels whom I also love.
