![]() ![]() This was a fast, easy read, that kept me guessing. “The governing body for a group that hates government.” – Brianna Labuskes, Her Final Words Brooke’s Thoughts The only “flaw” in the story for me is how Lucy seems to vilify Eliza at the end and view her as a monster like Rachel but was so quick to let Molly off the hook for killing Rachel. ![]() To be honest, the only thing I even kind of got right was thinking Eliza may have killed Noah to shed light on the other murders but I wasn’t even confident on this idea and voted for Hicks in the last vote. Her Final Words didn’t give me either of those feelings! I didn’t expect Rachel to be the serial killer, Josiah to kill himself, Darcy’s involvement, or Molly shooting Rachel. I loved this book and rated it 5 stars! I don’t read many mysteries but, when I do, I usually feel like they’re either too predictable or unrealistic. ![]()
