Multiple Point of Views

Slow Burn Story Telling

This book wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d read it again.

I thought the author did a good job with setting the scene and having the suspenseful atmosphere I was expecting from a murder mystery.  However, I thought it was a bit drawn out.  All the characters being taken apart, not being as perfect as they once seemed was written well… I just didn’t care for most of the characters.  They weren’t all that likable and the drama was a bit predictable.

The narrators though, did a lovely job.  And with all the different characters they really made each character unique.

Whoa! That was twisty at the end! I love when a story all comes together like that! It's got a fair amount of sex related topics in there, so reader beware of that's not something you want in your mind. The only thing is, that the back cover says, "they all have a motive" so I was looking for the stuff that was surprise in the end, but I didn't get it all figured out so thanks, Lucy Foley, for a great read.
