I love this book. It's suspenseful without being scary, and it really examines the complexity of relationships. I also very much enjoyed the narration.

Overall a great page-turner. I saw the television series first, which I personally think is better than the book. The TV series does a lot more to flesh out the characters and gives a richer background to the events surrounding the murder.

Liane Moriarty’s writing style is so familiar yet not predictable.  A tense story with shocking twists and complex, well-developed characters.
