This book was pretty good. If still had a happy feel good ending that you don’t see in a lot of thrillers, it was nice, but definitely still got that jaw dropping twist that you normally find in a thriller. The only part I wasn’t a fan of was the fact that each character was about a different character&it rotated between 5 characters so I found myself getting 2 of the ladies confused at times because I couldn’t keep them straight but overall great read.

Lots of juicy neighborhood drama, lots of POVs. One pov I felt was unnecessary and I felt the mental health part was not done as good as could have been.

This book is just totally fabulous - it's a real page turner and I just couldn't put it down. The writing is top notch, the characters are amazing, and the plot is gripping. I am now definitely a Hepworth fan - more like this please!

I'm not sure that Hepworth does the greatest twists, but I love how much she integrates the mystery with the characters and I felt like this one was almost too cluttered with the POVs, until it felt like it all paid off. I love some good use of foils!

Not as good as her other titles in my opinion. If this was the first title I read fro Hepworth I would not continue with others. Not bad- but nothing special. A few good twists though!
