this might just be my favourite mystery novel……
  • didn’t guess the killer which is super rare for me !!!
  • plot twists were unexpected yet didn’t feel cheap
  • loved duchess & her personality was great in drawing me in
  • tinsley was fun to love to hate and i really liked her character growth, it felt natural yet earned
  • i loved the intertwining of social issues into the story. they felt seamless & were the hard hitting facts
  • the plot kept me gripped and i wanted to keep coming back for more
  • no character fell flat, everyone had mini arcs
  • the mystery was intriguing and not simple enough to bore audiences yet not too complex for readers to not follow
fuckkkk this was good. i had such a good time. what i would give to go back in time and read this again for the first time.
