It starts very slow but stick with it as it ends up being a good read.
Once again Karen White brings us a fantastic book full of twists and turns and a great story...loved it.
I figured it out early on, but still enjoyed the book
The writing was good, but the story was flat. The mystery was no mystery, the characters played out their roles without ever transcending into reality and the ending was just what I expected to wrap everything in a tidy package. Disappointing.
The story was pretty good but it did drag in places and the ending caught me a bit offgaurd and was slightly unbelievable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. So true how perception can differ so from reality. I also thought the struggle with mental illness of the one sisters really gave you a sense of the internal torment she went through.
