I really liked this book. It does a disservice to say that this is four short stories. It is four self contained stories, with small connections between. But, each story builds on a single overarching narrative and mystery in an *incredibly* satisfying way. I really enjoyed following each of the characters as the larger plot unfolded and couldn’t put it down.
I struggled a little with the prose. It’s a bit more descriptive and wordy than I usually like, but this hardly impacted my experience as the actual story itself was engaging.
I was particularly attached to the final central character and the relationships she was building. It’s set up for a sequel and I really hope one is published because I’m excited to see things where things go.
