I thoroughly enjoyed this read! About halfway through is when it really started to hook me in, and I needed to figure out what was up. The way Willingham weaves all of the storylines together is borderline hypnotic. Not to mention, the writing itself is beautiful and the narrator of the audiobook killed it. The twists definitely threw me for a loop - I gasped at least twice. 

The reason why this is 4 stars for me and not 5: just a few times things didn’t feel SO plausible, and I didn’t love how a good chunk of the plot hinges on the “maybe this woman is just ‘crazy’” trope, even if Willingham is trying to reclaim something through an AFAB narrator and her very complex story. Still, I would definitely recommend this book to mystery lovers!
