LOL at the rampant cheating


It's a super easy whodunit to breeze through in one or two sittings. 

It could've used more editing but it was still entertaining. 

The way Lucy's
memory comes back by revisiting the scene and gaining the context to remember is pretty true to what actually happens. I appreciate this part being rooted in science
.

There's a lot of things that could've been removed that didn't add anything to the story, and sometimes were frankly distracting. 

The audiobook is supposed to be very good so maybe I'll reread it in that form later. 

Want a small town murder mystery with lots of secrets and gossip that has a darkly humorous female main character? Check it out

Okay..  I'll be honest.  I guessed whodunnit pretty early on and as I made my way through the story, it was predominantly to ensure that I guessed correctly.

Rating was lowered because I didn't find it all that captivating and there was an odd focus on sweat that really took me out of it.
