 My book club chose this book for some ~spooky-mystery~ vibes for Halloween (yes, I read it way late 😅). 
 
This wasn’t my favorite. While the writing was good, the plot dragged at a much slower pace than I’m used to in a murder-mystery. I expected much more murder—especially since it was mentioned in the title—than family drama. 
 
While I did enjoy the relationships between the three generations of grandmother, mother, and daughter, I really just wanted more of the murder-mystery part at the forefront. This probably would have been more enjoyable as an audiobook. 
All that being said, I’d try this author again someday.
