One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose
3.0
I seen this book mentioned by the authors husband on tiktok, and immediately ran to netgalley to request it.
this book is EVERYTHING. if you like drama filled tv shows, book with multiple povs where everyone is unreliable, elite families with plenty of secrets to hide - you have to read this.
i was immediately captured into this book from beginning to the end. it was a constant flip back of ‘what actually happened? who actually did it?’
you don’t know who’s murdered, motivation, suspects - anything. you find little clues out throughout the story through gossip between these rich southern women. who, by the way, make amazing characters. they’re so cunning, and sly that you never know who’s actually telling the truth. what piece of gossip is real, and if what happened really happened in that way.
the subtle details the author puts throughout the story so you can connect things together was so perfect, i found myself reading it then thinking ‘wait’ and flipping back to other pages and it was so well done.
i love how the book took place in buckhead, since that’s so close to me. it felt like an everyday story you’d heard being gossiped about, or read in an article - the author got the personalities for these type of women down pat! it made for such a comical, and enjoyable mystery.
the ending really did have me shocked, i know i’ve seen a few people say that it was rushed but i think it was paced well honestly. i think it made a way bigger impact, and made you think ‘wait, wtf?’
i overall really enjoyed this, thank you netgalley for my e-arc!
