Great whodunnit mystery with some good thriller thrown in there. While it wasn’t super unpredictable, it still had me second guessing some of it. I was sort of hoping the ending was going to throw me for a loop and be completely unexpected, but I liked it nonetheless.
Some of Stella’s character felt a little more like a cross between a cop and therapist rather than a lawyer but I liked the personal correlation she had with Rose while still feeling conflicted at times which made it feel more real.
Overall, I liked the way the author laid things out, all the factors going into the puzzle of the story, as you tried to put the pieces together and decide what was true and what was not. I thought it was well written and pulled things in little by little in the plot.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
