What a fantastic thriller, holy shit! It’s a slow burn but once you get past the first 150 pages it is gut punch after gut punch. I did not see any of these twists coming and never knew what to expect.
Spoiler I had so much love for Sue and Maud, and while I wish there were 10 more pages at the end, I’m ultimately very happy that there was a grain of a happy ending in the midst of all of the tragedy. Also, Dainty is a real one 😤 and god bless Charley Wag
