I really enjoyed the premise of this one and all the cute gal pal moments but I think the ending was a bit rushed and I wished there were a few more Easter eggs that implicate the killer more, to make it more engaging

Ellie Marney’s writing will always be one of my favorites. This story was fun, twisty and engaging (so much so that I read it all in one sitting!!) and the characters all have so much depth and personality.

A very well written book, with an interesting plot and story line I haven't seen before, I really enjoyed this book as it was not very long but long enough for me to just sit and read for a couple of days after I finished any things I had to do. I good book to have after a busy and jam packed day.
