5.0

This book was wildly predictable right from the beginning and I knew exactly how it was going to end by about 25 pages in. That didn't stop it from being an incredibly fun read of the type that's absolutely perfect when you just want some "thriller trash" escapism. There was definitely nothing cerebral or even a little bit surprising about any of this, but I really enjoyed it anyway and appreciated it for the fun ride it was.

Very after school special. Everything tied up too neatly and an unnecessary little cliffy that just felt dumb

Like most of Frieda McFadden's books, I began this one and could not put it down. It was addicting.
However, unlike most of her other novels, this mystery was more predictable, and I was left wanting more... maybe a sequel?
But, despite this, it certainly revived me out of my reading slump, and I look forward to reading another one of her books.

one of the more mediocre reads from McFadden. i didn’t connect with the characters that much. the twist didn’t seem that plausible to me either. overall, not the best from her works.
