I actually really enjoyed this book and was hovering between 3.5 and 4 stars, in the end I went with the lower. Primarily because the mystery part of the book isn't particularly mysterious. From the first few chapters the general outline of the reveal is easily known and all that remains are the details.

What is done well though is the writing of the protagonist and her step daughter, and the progession of their relationship throughout. The character writing in this book is great, converting a potentially poor book in terms of plot into an enjoyable read. I'll be happy to try more from Laura Dave in the future.
