Page turner
Couldn’t put this one down, solid read!
Soooo good!
So, I usually have a gift and a curse of seeing endings coming a mile away. Drives my husband nuts. I can truly say, this book got me! So many twists and turns, wonderful ending that I never saw coming, and she did great tying up all the loose ends. HIGHLY recommend! Best mystery I’ve read in a long time!
Didn’t see it coming!
The characters in this book were all well developed-The mystery in this book is well planned. I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and when the plot twisted it seemed unusual but the story unfolded and all was explained.
