Over all a pretty good read although at times a bit creepy. Did not solve all the mystery because there was a major plot twist at the end.

A short but great book. While I adored the writing, I found the chapters too short for my preference.

3 dark tales of women told in the themes of motherhood, friendship, womanhood and mental health. Each of which ending in a thought provoking way.

A must read!

It's giving Hallmark crime movie. Characters liked to name drop obscure historic references almost in an uncanny valley way. Slow to start but ramps up during the second half. I also read this for book club and thought it was quite an obscure pick. The audiobook narration is top-notch though, performed by three different actresses for the three main characters.
