3.0

I found this book well written and compelling to read. Unfortunately, it suffers from the idea that a mystery/thriller can be built solely on misdirection. This book would have benefited from some consolidation, but the author felt like she couldn’t show her hand until the very end and had to spin out every possible motive and culprit. By that point, the reader is exhausted and the closing revelations don’t feel earned.
