(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I found this book to be a really good, entertaining read that I finished faster than I’d expected to.
When I entered to win a copy of this book, there wasn’t much information about it. I entered to win because I often like reading murder mysteries.
I was a bit surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The main character, Maggie, was really engaging and easy to relate to. The fact that she was pregnant added a whole new dimension to the character, I felt.
I did like Maggie’s other friends in the book, though I wasn’t sure of them at times. I liked Maggie’s relationship with her husband. I thought the author did a really good job of showing their struggles… but also how much they cared for each other. (I did, however, think that Laurent was very controlling at times).
I did particularly dislike certain characters. Even the parts from their POV didn’t do anything to endear them to me and I just couldn’t see any redeeming characteristics in them.
There was quite a lot of humour in this book, which I felt worked well. I did notice one issue with the murder mystery, but on the whole, it worked really well.
The book was really well-written, with only some errors that didn’t really detract from my enjoyment. I would definitely be interested in reading more books in this series in the future.
