Would I Recommend: Yes

Rating: 3/5

Additional Thoughts: I was drawn to this book as the author’s other works include Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers. It was fun to switch things up and read a mystery and I am happy to say that I could not put it down. Was I thrilled with the ending? Not particularly, but it also wasn’t the worst.
