This was such a fun read! I couldn’t stop once I had really gotten into it. There was a lot of potential for the killer to have a great motive, but ultimately that part fell flat to me (and was a little corny tbh). Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book. I’m excited to read the other book in this series.

Pretty good book! It feels like an episode of Criminal Minds. It's a pretty court-heavy crime drama, but the pacing and other elements of the story keep it from getting boring. There are a lot of layers to the story and the crime involved and a few minor plot twists that I didn't see coming. It does take a bit to really get going, but I still enjoyed it. I think this book is part of a series, but I read it as a standalone and didn't have any trouble understanding it.
