Story in a story – you get a bit of a two for one deal with this one, but in the very best way. Unraveling the mystery of Emily & Francis, the rollercoaster of their friendship, the bond between Rose & Francis, & that of Emily & Francis all while trying to solve Francis’s murder alongside Annie. Unpacking secrets, digging up dirt, & finding the skeletons in people’s closets became a lifeline for Francis, but was it what got her killed? Better yet, is it what will solve her murder?
