This book had me from start to finish. It felt like reaveal after reveal. Just when you thought you found out the end, there was more. This author has me hooked.

Absolute shocker

Never in a million years could I have guessed all of the plot twists in this book. There were so many webs of deception that I just did not see coming. The story is captivating. Well done to the author!

Shocking

The procedural courtroom drama - which took the bulk of the book to narrate - was repetitive and not super interesting. But the connections between the characters and the beginning and end (I won’t spoil it) is very interesting and well done.

Slow in the middle, great at the end

Plot twist

I correctly pegged a few things about this story very early on, but oh boy, the path the readers had to travel to finally get to the truth.
The relationship between the sisters is heartbreaking, and their weak husbands, well, you'll see.
The one of the court scenes is the only reason I didn't rate this story 5 stars.
