4.0

This mystery came in at just the right time for me! Definitely needed something with high energy that kept me guessing along the way to get me out of a little reading slump. I loved all of the death/murder suspense, drama, and the Nantucket setting. I also enjoyed how all of the characters are so intertwined (and in ways you don’t realize at first). Brice and Karen are by far the best /most kindhearted characters.

The mystery itself was well-plotted, and kept me guessing to the end, but I honestly didn’t like any of the characters. I felt like every single one of them was toxic, even the people who were supposed to be the protagonists we were rooting for (the people doing the investigating were fine). And the end scene was downright depressing and ultimately unsatisfying. For a beach read, I would want a much more satisfying ending.
