MY OPINION

LIKES
I love the character Molly from the beginning, loved her quirkiness and her absolute truths.
This book is exactly what I needed after reading a lot of dark books. It was a fun, light-hearted murder mystery.

DISLIKES
I just couldn't comprehend the idea of how no one notices that Molly is a neurodivergent

PLOT
Jess tries to escape her past by moving into her brother's apartment in Paris. On arriving at the apartment, she finds her brother missing and all his neighbours acting suspiciously. How will she find her brother when everyone around her is a suspect?

MY OPINION

LIKES
I like how the chapters are short so which made me read much faster. The story also had a couple of interesting twists which I never saw it coming.

DISLIKES
I find the first half of the book pretty slow and nothing interesting was happening there.

PLOT

Six years ago, Brie (Andrew's wife) disappeared while Andrew was on a fishing trip with his best friend Greg. Police suspect Andrew but couldn't build a case against him because of a lack of evidence. This leaves Andrew devastated and Andrew turns to Alcohol for comfort.

After six years,
Andrew got his life together after six 6 years and is now living with his girlfriend Jayne and her brother Tyler. Now a woman who has a striking resemblance to Brie appeared at Andrew's old address screaming “where is my house?” This raises a lot of questions Is this Brie? Can she be alive after all these years? If yes why did she not contact anyone? If not, who is this woman and why is she doing this and why now?

MY OPINION
LIKES
I liked how the story starts with the possibility of Brie still being alive after six years and acting as if she just stepped out of home for grocery shopping. This got me intrigued. I like that I couldn't guess the killer until the very end.

DISLIKES
I hate that this has too many unwanted characters. None of the twists stood out. The Killer's background story and their reason to kill.
