After having read Pekkanen's books with Greer Hendricks and loving those this fell really flat. There's a lot, too much even, going on, everyone's a suspect, no matter how flimsily, and the climax was just.... eh.
I feel like I would've enjoyed the book more without Stella's backstory being thrown into the mix with all it's drama that just felt like it was there to add fluff. There was no need to go into her divorce or into the new fling, (which, btw, felt like a lousy copout for "fixing" Stella's situation of not wanting to have babies. The book was published in 2024, gay couples can have babies too!) the drama of her history would've been sufficient.
The ending felt like it would never come and was full of info dumping.
