First, I read this mostly as an audio format and that narrator is *chefs kiss* amazing! I'll be looking for more by that narrator to read!
I love a book that gives you a peek at the climatic action and then goes into everything leading up to it. I get so into trying to understand what led to the opening event. That's what happens with this one. Although, the climatic moment is seen from an observers POV (so very little detail is given away - which is perfect!)
The three interwoven stories of our 3 FMCs were beautifully written, and easy to tell apart by keeping it all written in 3rd person (the reason why is all told by the end). The rest of the structure of the novel is good too with interview style mixed in with the narrative.
I am now a Liane Moriarty fan, and may go watch the series based on this...
