Enjoyed it overall

Spoilers: Although I did get a little frustrated with the main character and the decision she was making. I knew the husband hadn’t killed her because that was too predictable but did begin to suspect who it really was during the last part of the book.

Predictable

Started out good but had this figured out way too soon. Also thought the author portrayed the main character as a weak woman, the kind who does not listen and does stupid things that puts her in jeopardy.
