I loved this book and how there were so many twists and turns. I thought the story was going one direction, but then it ended up going another. Red herrings are my favorite, and I just love being surprised by books.
I'd like to express my gratitude to PENGUIN GROUP Putnam, Lisa Scottoline, and NetGalley for affording me with the opportunity to read this ARC and share my honest review.

Some twists that shocked me into pausing and taking a minute to myself. Character development that leaves you distraught and hopeful in the same breath.
