I really enjoyed this read. There were some parts that I was a but confused at only because there were so many different characters but in the end it all made sense. I really liked the ending, although I have to say I was expecting another crazy twist but it was almost refreshing that it didn’t go in that direction.

Not what I expected. Would be good for someone looking for a very slow, not suspenseful mystery. It seemed to just be about their lives and all loose ends were tied up happily. Every twist let me down, I was really hoping for someone excitement.
