![]() ![]() ![]() It wasn’t a horrible read, but if this had been the first Rindell I read, I would never have bothered to pick up another. The ending answered zero questions, which in this case just kind of felt like lazy writing instead of intriguing. Hardly anything happens for long swaths of book, other than the narrator constantly telling us that she’s unreliable and giving us a LOT of incredibly heavy-handed foreshadowing about where she ends up, meaning that there honestly weren’t a lot of surprises. All that to say, I was anticipating something a little creepy and intriguing, but ended up honestly being bored most of the time. Since then, I’ve read one of Rindell’s later books (this one was her debut), Eagle & Crane, and loved it. At the time, it got a lot of positive buzz from several bloggers that I follow. This book has been on my TBR since it was published in 2013.
