Wow this was so good. I was on the edge of my seat for so much of the book, had a wonderful time reading it. Unfortunately for me I had some minor issues with the pacing, some parts were perfect, othered felt rushed over (looking at you the ending), while others felt like they dragged a little n took away from other scenes that I would’ve liked more depth in. And yeah the ending wasn’t my favourite but overall I still really liked the book.
I did like the ending enough, I’m not totally mad about it, I just think there could’ve been a little more to it, and spent a little more time in the new normal.
Anyways, sooo happy I read this series. Shoutout to the audiobooks bc they’re so well produced and acted n just really well done.
Definitely recommend the series, even to people who don’t usually read mystery (like me).
