it was ok

Riley Sager is not for me. This book was BAD, bro. Kit is hired to care for an elderly woman who killed her parents and sister 54 years prior� allegedly. The twist? Kit was ALSO accused of killing her mother. OOOOOOOH. Let me tell you, I was invested in this book from the first chapter. I was hyping it up to my friends and I really wanted to see how it would all play out! Would Kit solve the 1929 Hope murders? The momentum did NOT keep up, however.

I would describe Sager’s writing style as being very black and white. There is little room for interpretation; the author is simply describing (and sometimes over-describing) events and the reader is reading them. I think he hates fun. Not only that, but the plot became increasingly more unbelievable each time I turned a page. Eye roll after eye roll after eye roll! This person is this person’s granddaughter and this person’s father is involved in the saga and this person *thinks* he is this person’s grandson and this person was having an affair with this person……�. I wish I were kidding but unfortunately I am not. I couldn’t wait for it to end.

Anne Dragovcic You are not alone !!


JanB Eek…sorry this was a miss but I love your review!


Sarah Yeah I really didn't like all the twists. The first one was honestly kind of unbelievable already... but I could accept it. But then there were all these other connections between the characters and it just felt so unnecessary to me.
