this might just be my favourite mystery novel……

didn’t guess the killer which is super rare for me !!!
plot twists were unexpected yet didn’t feel cheap
loved duchess & her personality was great in drawing me in
tinsley was fun to love to hate and i really liked her character growth, it felt natural yet earned
i loved the intertwining of social issues into the story. they felt seamless & were the hard hitting facts
the plot kept me gripped and i wanted to keep coming back for more
no character fell flat, everyone had mini arcs
the mystery was intriguing and not simple enough to bore audiences yet not too complex for readers to not follow

fuckkkk this was good. i had such a good time. what i would give to go back in time and read this again for the first time.
