While sometimes difficult to follow, the multiple POV, multiple timeline flow of this story really kept me on my toes as a reader. You almost need to construct an FBI style suspect board to keep it all straight.
Despite having dozens of characters, each was brought to life on the page, no matter how small the role. The attention to detail offered vivid descriptions of their mannerisms, scents, and accents that helped develop each personality as well as further the plot.
Interestingly, I had it solved early on, but I dismissed my original theory because it seemed too predictable. I believe some will be very surprised with the twist, while fans of the genre will most likely find it slightly derivative.
The pacing did leave a lot to be desired. At times, it felt like entire chapters were irrelevant or repetitive. She probably could have cut 50 or so pages and still had enough time to develop the story thoroughly.
Still, I did really enjoy the characters and twists and would recommend this to fans of murder mysteries.

Pros:
- The narration is fantastic; full cast of readers, and the listener is able to distinguish between them.
- Plot twists on top of plot twists, made for several "oh snap!" moments.
Cons:
- The pace was slow, to turbo speed towards the end. Because of that, the ending was too rushed.
- There is not enough proper justice!
