this was so much fun! i like an epistolary novel once in a while and this one was pretty well done.

i figured out some of the big aspects of the mystery, but missed a few key details. one of them i’m totally kicking myself over because it’s so obvious in hindsight:
whenever a mystery involves a sick little kid, i should immediately suspect munchausens by proxy.
