4.0

The main thing that takes away from this being a five-star is the way that
the underage relationship was handled. Even if Josie made advances on Walter, she was still a child. His response should have been "No." Just because she was not the unassuming person she portrayed herself to be, doesn't mean it negates his actions in the whole thing, which seems to be what most characters allowed themselves to believe when it came to light that she was a murderer.


Otherwise, I think it was a great book and while I had figured some things out, I definitely didn't expect the
second ending
