“This book had so many different paths that just didn’t seem to go anywhere. Two unreliable narrators, the mysterious death of a man and child and an unsatisfying conclusion that was just odd.”Anna Porter

“I overall enjoyed the setting and resolution of the mystery, but it took a while to get to. I feel like most of the mystery was resolved through Maggie being told what happened instead of finding out what happened. I wished the pacing was a bit different but I liked the plot twists. The “reincarnation” part of the storyline was a bit hard to suspend my belief for.”
