Honestly, I'm still collecting my thoughts on this as I write this review. The premise of all this family drama wrapped up in a old manor house turned bed and breakfast and murders starting up was immensely intriguing. There are portions I didn't think really meshed well with the rest of the book and the plot lost me at some points. I listened to the audiobook version of this and despite the fact that I loved the narrator, I got lost between chapters at times. I didn't necessarily understand why the author chose to repeat word for word the first "chapter" later in the climax of the book. I felt like it would have made more sense to give a glimpse of that chapter at the beginning and then all the details as they unfolded. It just felt like a huge chunk of text we'd already experienced as the reader. I will also say that I'm still not 100% sure why the killer called themselves "Passerby." I do wish that that was explained at some point.

In any case this was a very entertaining audiobook and the twist came out of no where. The utter betrayal of it all is mind-numbing. I thought I had everything figured out and I was wrong, which doesn't happen often. I do think going in mostly blind is the way to read this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and OrangeSkye Audio for the audiobook copy!
