Honestly this was wild. In the beginning I thought it was just like the other Shari book I just finished, crappy present tense and vibes I didn’t want at all. But then the mystery plot started picking up and it had me! I did feel like the ending was sort of rushed and abrupt tho. But - the detective in this was the same dude as the couple next door, and honestly he makes the book.
