The Girls in the Garden by Lisa Jewell
3.0
mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

After having this book on my tbr for a long time (three years according to Goodreads), I finally picked it up from my local library. I was super excited to read my first Lisa Jewell book, but The Girls in the Garden was pretty underwhelming. I didn't find myself really interested in the main mystery and have definitely read better books from this genre. That being said, I will probably give this author and her writing another chance because I know many readers sing her praises. Maybe I just started with one of her "not-so-great" titles? We shall see.
