3.0

“The third in a series usually isn’t that great” indeed (if you knew that maybe you shouldn’t have published this?). Def the weakest with a really boring first half. Still super easy and quick to read though. It also isn’t the worst of her books that I’ve read, but I’m now fully realizing how formulaic her books are (found this one pretty predictable for the most part) and I think we’re done w this author. I feel like her priority is the twist(s) regardless of whether they actually make a good story or not. If she actually had

made Suzette the killer after she saw her husband stabbed and realized he was never going to change

it would’ve been a much better story imo, but she just HAD to get the last twist in there with

Martha

which was so random.
