I was definitely interested and didn’t want to put the book down. There were a few loose ends that I wish were tied up at the end

like what was the deal with Cassandra blaming Meredith for her husband’s infidelity? I feel like that didn’t add anything to the plot. Also, I wish it was revealed that Marty and Shelby were having an affair, it would have made sense.

the reveal at the end was good but not crazy shocking.

The switching between pov’s gave me whiplash and I’m not going to lie that it got better but I just got use to it. 

From beginning to end, everything starts to come together.. slowly revealing itself. I felt like some details are cliche in what you’d see in a mystery. However, the reasoning behind all the ‘local women missing’ THREW ME IN A LOOP! Ahhhhh. I was guessing the whole time who it could and what would happened next. 

Also, the ending?!! It was so bitter sweet 😭 idk how to feel. Just glad everyone got what they deserved!
