******Happy Publication Day****

I am with so many of my other reviewing friends when I say this is mislabeled as a mystery/thriller. For me the mystery was what is the mystery in this book and how is it all tied together.

I really enjoy books about family drama and figuring out how the family drama plays into the mystery in the book. But that is not what happened in this book. It was interesting to get a look into the family dynamics and see the disfunction, but it wasn't relavant to the dead body, not directly- in my opinion.

The book also ended quite quickly and almost abruptly. It was almost the end of the book and I still had questions that weren't answered, and I was wondering what was happening: will we have closure, will there be an answer, and so on.

I think the general idea behind this book was good in theory, but the execution just didn't register for me. The narration was great though, which is what helped me finish this book.

I am thankful for the opportunity to listen to books like this one because sometimes I am the outlier. However, this time I am in agreement with others that this book is more of just fiction, not a mystery/thriller.

Thank you to #Netgalley and #DreamscapeMedia for the advanced audio copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own without hesitation.
