4.75 soooo good!!!!!!!!

[Jennifer Williams · Rating 2 out of 5]

I strongly dislike writing negative reviews but this book was all over the place. It had the makings of being a good read but the timing was difficult to follow and please do not get me started on the grammatical errors. I understand the author is “self published” but there are ways to review your writing before hitting the submit button. All in all, I think I will pass on reading anything else by her.

plot twist you don’t see coming

Another fantastic read. There are several grammar errors they could have easily been caught, but it is what it is. In the book before this, the body of the murder victim was found by a man out jogging. In this book, it says he was out walking. Just needs some editing. Really great book despite some flaws.

3.5 rounded up. Interesting page turner for sure, but such an abrupt wrap up at the end.

This was an enjoyable psychological thriller with a good writing style and medium-sized chapters that kept the pace moving. The story is told through multiple POVs and alternates between past and present timelines. While the frequent switching between perspectives took a moment to get into, it ultimately wove together a good story.
The plot features some solid twists that fit the genre well and that will catch most people off-guard. The book could have benefited from one more round of polish to catch several grammatical errors, but it didn't prevent me from finding this book an engaging read.
Even though this isn't listed as a formal series, it was nice to see Sadie and Rhett again, who we met in The Murdering Kind. There were some plot points left up in the air regarding Rhett, so I am hoping that means another book featuring this duo will be coming soon!
