I have heard a lot about this book, so I decided to pick it up, and it was a good decision. So basically, this book follows the story of Kit Darling, a maid with a snooping problem. There is no problem with it, until she sees something she is not supposed to. A homicide cop, Mallory Van Alst, was called when a luxury waterfront glasshouse suffered a violent attack. But the bodies are missing, and the maid is also not found. The only witness is the old neighbour, and the last person to see Kit Darling.
First of all, the plot was highly engaging. I was really intrigued to go on with the book. As the book goes on, I started to get the hint of what the actual plot twist is going to be. At some points, I was shocked, but at other points, I was well aware of the twist. The plot twists were really good.
The plot is truly heartbreaking, and I am so satisfied with the ending; it’s literally karma, but the victim made it possible. I was enraged to know how in the world the crime gets hidden because of money, and the victim bears the consequences, which is so wrong.
Kit Darling, the girl, went through so much, and I loved the ending she got. I loved her execution of the plan. She came out of nowhere and conquered it. A very well put together character. I loved how she planned everything, which made it so much more interesting. The end was satisfying.
The characters were all pretty grey. As we see many points of view that focus more on the characters’ feelings, this makes the story more exciting and keeps me guessing. I loved this aspect of the book. The feelings and emotions made the book more intense.
The book is definitely fast-paced and engaging.
I recommend this book.
