Heartbreak Homes by Jo Treggiari
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
Spoilers ahead. I will not reveal anything big - most of the review vaguely alludes to plot, structure, and characters.

Loved the idea of this plot and the three different narrators were distinct enough to justify them; I found the discussion of the poverty and decline of !Martin's family and his subsequent "fall from grace" to be the most interesting backdrop for a character - he was my favorite narrator. The mystery aspect of the book was just okay. Things moved too slowly for my taste, and the twist was a bit predictable and simple for my tastes. However, it is a good read for fans of character-driven mysteries looking for a quick read.
