"But I was struck by the thought that they did not seem completely comfortable in one another's company. Which was odd, as they'd told me right at the beginning that they were very old friends. But that's the thing about old friends, isn't it? Sometimes they don't even realize that they no longer have anything in common."

I really liked the book but at points I found that there were so many characters or parts of the book that did not need to be there. Also the ‘who done it’ aspect was a little too obvious for my taste. I found the actual writing very well done and I was definitely engaged in the book the whole time!
Definitely a slow burn, but worth it. I loved the descriptions of the Highland setting, and the uneasy dynamic between the friends that the author establishes. I personally love multiple POV books, and the way Foley used it in this was very well done and creative.
3.75 - i thought the red herrings and twists were really good i just think i don’t looooove her writing style it takes me forever to get into
