This was fantastic! Definitely a mystery/thriller, but with a lovely slow burn that let the tensions simmer throughout. Lexie Elliott gave us complexly unlikable characters with real depth that had me rooting for them all the way through, as she tells the story of six friends from university and their involvement in a murder investigation. I really liked that the mystery is about Severine's death, but the novel is not at all about Severine. Kate was great as a narrative voice because she was smart and sharp but not infallible. It's interesting that I wouldn't call the plot twisty, but I wouldn't call it predictable either, and the ending tied things together, but not too neatly. Congrats to Lexie Elliott!
