Excellent

This has been a really great book. I have enjoyed it immensely. There were many twists and turns that I didn't figure out who did it until almost the end. This was a great surprise.
I hope to find more from this author. Her writing was excellent as well as her grammar. What a treat.
Thank you

This book didn’t hook me until about Chapter 3 or 4 but then I couldn’t put it down. There are so many plot twists you don’t know who the murderer is until the very end. I recommend reading this book!
