A review by jrayereads
Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight

3.0

I’m not really a thriller girlie but I had a good time with this one! Katrina and Cleo are both clever, strong-willed and likable characters. Anyone who’s been in a mother-daughter dynamic can empathize with them and the rifts in their relationship. That core relationship kept me engaged throughout the whole book.

I thought some of the dialogue was a little cheesy but that didn’t bother me too much. I think it might have helped develop Katrina’s character to get a bit more depth into her childhood and where she grew up, especially because that ends up impacting her a lot throughout the story. I didn’t feel as connected to that aspect of her character. I was invested in the mystery throughout but it didn’t really stick the landing for me, even though there were a couple surprising moments. 

Side note - I swapped between the audiobook and the physical book and enjoyed both formats so I would recommend either one.
