This was my first Shari Lapena book and it didn't disappoint!

The characters were established quickly, but it was clever how each of their characteristics were introduced without making it seem too forced. It wasn't too hard following who was who, and it definitely kept you guessing what was happening in the book until the end.

Definitely one of those books where you can blink and suddenly have read 200 pages!
