Pros
+ Well-written, great prose.
+ Super entertaining to read
+ I liked the subtle foreshadowing and how everything was tied up at the end

Cons
- There's just too much going on. There are essentially two parallel mysteries that Avery is involved in: her investigation into Victoria and

the FBI sting operation about her father

These two mysteries are not connected outside of Avery's involvement and essentially diverge into separate plots so you spend the latter half of the book jumping between these two investigations.
- There are also too many POVs. The main ones are Avery and Walt, the retired FBI agent that led the murder investigation. But there are also chapters from the POVs of

Natalie, Walt's boss, two random FBI agents surveilling Claire's father, Victoria, etc.

It gets confusing.
- The plot twist involving Claire's past didn't make sense.

It's revealed that Claire is trying to help her brother who faked his death years earlier rather than her father, who she turns into the FBI. Her brother found out about their father's Ponzi scheme before the authorities caught on and was convinced that he would be arrested too even though he was never involved. I'm not fully convinced that this is true since he very easily could have just turned his father into the authorities. Especially since Bernie Madoff (which this is clearly based on) had two sons involved in his company who were never arrested (they turned their father in).

- The romance was meh and felt too forced.
