dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

This had the signature McFadden twist, but it felt a little unfinished. Like there was information and threads without explanation. Also, the narrator was not my favorite. Also can't cope with a millennial character who just hasn't heard of a farmers' market? Like get real lol
