Did not finish reading this book. 12 pages in and my spouse and I were bored out of our minds. Although I'm not a rush-through type of reader, I found the story and the diction to both draaaaag without being compelling. Usually I'm already feeling invested in at least one character this shortly into a novel (not even a bit this time). Didn't need to hear 10xs over that she liked the uncle that would visit in her childhood (for example). Anyway, just not my cup of tea.

mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Trashy beach read. I get these books from my MIL, I don't know if I can look her in the eye...

a quick, easy mystery. I figured out the murder and I hate it when I can figure out the murders.
