I did enjoy this but I felt like the story was so slow at points. Finishing the whole book you still don’t really find an answer to either of the murders, and I didn’t like how Ellie was alluded to be the killer or whatever for Hayes. Especially when she ends up running away? I really wish at least one of the plot lines was answered, I don’t think it’s necessary to keep both open ended to make you want to read the sequel
