I don’t need every thread tied up in a bow at the end of a book, but this one left too many loose. I know we’re supposed to question everything these characters say, as the title suggests, but I’m left with too many questions and it feels unsatisfying. I can’t dive into the other things that bugged me here without giving spoilers. But even though the ending wasn’t my favorite, I did really enjoy the reading process! The full cast narration and sinister music actually added to the suspense and didn’t feel too corny.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Child abuse, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, and Murder
