The way this story was told was what kept me turning the pages. Because the story was "wrapped up" in 37 pages I knew we were going to do a deep dive into everyone and everything and I was here for it. This story is heavy on the police investigation side of things so keep that in mind when considering picking this up. What bumped a star down was the unbelievable ending - it just got silly IMO and throughout some things came together a little "too conveniently" which is not to say that the huge twist didn't shock me. I 100% didn't see it coming.
