Overall rating 3 /5
This seems like a darker Murder She Wrote episode, but with multiple writers and a sorted past event. I wish Becca’s character was more vivacious. She just fell flat to me and seemed to drag down the story line. I do like the premise of the book and wished there was more of a gritty conflict between Becca and the murderer. This book was a quick and easy read.
