Really enjoyed overall.
Key thoughts and notes -
Classic KM structure - Family, secrets, dual timeline, historical mystery (it all works for me each time)
Nora just overall read as a terrible person
I figured out the who and how mainly thanks to being a Poirot fan
Didn't get a few other key plot points which was great - nice to get those revelations as a surprise
Communication really would have helped but Jess reads as a selfish person so not surprising even with her being a journalist
Unreliable narrators abound - a key trope in Kate Morton's books and it works again
