Several POVs. Listening to the audiobook felt like listening to a radio drama. I don't know if I would have liked as much if I was reading it
I enjoyed the twists and turns and clues of this mystery!

The start was very slow but, as expected of the genre, it picks up around the half way point. There is a moment where the "whodunnit" was very clear. I wasn't fond of the animal death because it wasn't exactly relevant to the plot. Just some teehee cult vibes.

It's not a groundbreaking or even a particularly well done murder mystery in the slightest but it's fun and Thad such a good time reading it and that

MATTERS!!!!!!! I liked the background/minor characters more than our main ones, they were much more interesting. I loved the atmosphere and aesthetic so much and I would have died to stay at the manor. Didn't love being reminded that 2010 was 15 years ago though, I personally could have gone without that. Is this what I have to look forward to in books now, my teen years being the PAST?! Got me feeling like the crypt keeper.

Gotta love the message that all rapists must die! 🫰🏻

Birds are not real.

This book is a masterclass in how to write an idiot plot.

Your telling me that none of these people recognized these people after all of this time especially if they where that close… utter nonsense.

This book is so stupid the plot twists where predictable and mystery a straight line.

This is my last Foley book all of them are the same. Vapid empty people being stupid for 2/3 of the book followed by a predictable plot twist ending that only work since the other characters are too stupid to notice.

Francesca is insufferable from her first POV chapter. I loved how the more chaotic the story got, the more chaotic the POV chapters and their lengths became. The falling action

did well discussing the not-wholly-satisfying nature of the conclusion. Though the falling action was a little short, it wasn’t too quick. I would've liked a bit more of it, but I’m also not angry about its length.
