The novel starts off painfully slow, only gaining traction around the 60% mark. Millie’s character, once compelling in earlier installments, now gives off serious anxiety vibes, making it hard to invest in her journey. There was some intriguing twists once the pace finally picks up, but wasn’t overly impressed with the conclusion. I did like the epilogue though. Was hoping for a more satisfying ending to Millie’s story after enjoying the first two books.

If you’re a fan of slow-burn domestic thrillers and can overlook a slow beginning, this might be worth a try. However, if you loved the earlier books for their engaging protagonist, you may be disappointed.
