3.0

Be forewarned that this is not a cosy mystery. There is a lot of domestic violence and rape as well as traumatic birth covered in this book. The cover looks a little misleading. I liked the author's descriptive writing style and I liked the main character very much, but the end was overwhelming and I felt yanked around.
