3.0

Many important topics - motherhood, secrets, addiction, friendship, loss - are covered in this mystery thriller. Some are handled with care. The overall tone of the book wasn’t for me.  I enjoy likable characters - I just didn’t like these people. I’m glad I read to the end. Susan Elliot Wright has imagination and crafted a highly discussable book. My book club will enjoy talking about this one.
