When an unhoused woman saves a rich housewife's life, their lives become intertwined in a murder plot. How will they get out alive?
I'm torn on rating this book, I enjoyed that it delved into deeper topics, but I also found it a bit predictable at times. I'd say I predicted at least half the twists.
I enjoyed the happy ending, but I felt it wrapped up too quickly for how drawn out other elements were.
Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
