I think if it wasn't trying to be a mystery/thriller and more of a family drama, I would have liked this book more. There are parts of the relationship amongst the family members that are interesting and thought-provoking, and by far my favorite character was Diana. However, as a mystery/thriller, it was only about 15% of the book and was pretty bland in suspense and the reveal.
