This book was a pretty easy read - easy as in I got through it quickly.
The actual storyline was....interesting. I started off with mix feelings about the mc but towards the end of the book tbh, I didn't like her at all.
By the time you realised who might have committed the murders it was like okay can we get on with it, a lil bit of a twist but also an unsurprising twist.
Honestly this whole book was a bit of a traumatic mess, in a bad way.
