My review: 3 solid ā
The blurb doesn’t really give you much to go on. You would think Maggie plays a big part in the book, but we hear about her like twice, so that was odd.
There’s a bunch to follow along with ~ a now and then timeline, “Her” and just about every character tells a bit of the story. There were a couple different mysteries going on too.
I did have the “Her” figured out before it came to light. Also, I called what happened with Jeremy pretty quickly. Didn’t really care for the why of the who in the whodunit with the rock at all.
Childhood friends ~ Kirk, Gavin and Clarice were all unlikable characters. Phil seemed like a nice fella and Judy was a great MIL.
My heartbeat did begin to pick up a little around the 70% mark, but then slowed back down and the remainder of the book sort of dragged and I was ready for it be wrapped up. I was pleased with how it ended right before the epilogue.
It was a quick, but slow going at times, read. I would give this author another try.
