This mystery was structured like a podcast with each episode delving deeper into a murder case driven by obsession, secrets, desire, and power. I really enjoyed how this followed an influencer on trial and the complexities of that situation, along with the fact that this mystery unfurled like an onion. Just when you thought you knew everything you had to know about this case, another layer was peeled back and a new revelation was made.
This was such a solid courtroom drama; I just wish this story had a stronger finish. The last chapter felt somewhat lazy like the authors had to wrap up the story as soon as possible and came up with some outlandish conclusion that came out of nowhere and left me dissatisfied, but overall, it was a great read. ...more

It was full of tension and intrigue, and I only wish the author had gone into more depth about the trial because I feel like there were a small amount of evidence brought forth to the readers to really capture our attention.
I also could have done without the hefty amount of ageism from the perspective of the protagonist. It was jarring to hear about, to be honest.

this was an interesting courtroom drama following multiple perspectives that slowly unfurled secrets upo(Listened to on audiobook)
ACTUAL RATING: 3.5
this was an interesting courtroom drama following multiple perspectives that slowly unfurled secrets upon secrets about one treacherous day that led to the deaths of children and adults in a futuristic oxygen chamber said to heal those who enter it. While I was intrigued by the plot, I would say the plot twists and secrets that were revealed didn’t leave me on the edge of my seat or particularly surprised about the outcome of this story. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick courtroom drama to read one weekend, but it didn’t blow me away with the intrigue I wish it brought forth to the table

I guessed majority of the twists (because I'm great at guessing plot twists) and yet I was still screaming each time the plot changed. I would LOVE for this to become a movie because this was full of mystery and I couldn't get enough. That last line was just the absolute best and made me look up from my book and just let out a giant curse. I cannot function. This book was phenomenal. ...more
