There's an addictive quality to Lucy Foley's thrillers, and this one was no exception. Somehow I hated the characters while simultaneously feeling sorry for them - especially Miranda. Although I started the book hoping she was the one who died, I ended it wishing that she had had the chance to build a new life for herself. I also appreciated how neatly the various storylines tied together, it made for a really satisfying resolution.

So here's the thing.  It was very entertaining, and I sped through it quickly.  But, (and I hesitate to say this for fear I'll sound like an ass), I thought it was very predictable.  For reasons I won't share here because of spoilers, I thought the murderer was pretty obvious fairly early on.

This is my third book from this author, but this one was a bit disappointing. I figured it out too fast and was hoping I wouldn't be right. Furthermore, this only had like one likeable character, and a few of the points I've mentioned in the content warnings are things I don't like to read about.
