This is the fourth book which I have read by Janice Hallett. Her books are clever, unique and told in an interesting manner. Readers will either enjoy the format, or they won’t. I have gone back and forth between my ratings (either 3 or 4 stars) on them. I enjoyed this one and how the mystery was solved. There are a few twists and turns along the way. It’s close to 500 pages long and yet, I did not feel it’s length. The way the author writes the book via various mediums (texts, emails, correspondence, etc.) keeps the pace up and had me turning the pages. I always enjoy doing my own super sleuthing while reading and I have to say I did not solve the mystery in this book. I love it when that happens. Hallett is very clever and kept me on my toes.
Thank you to Atria Books and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
