Predictable but Good!
I like how this book felt like part YA and part thriller. It was, ultimately, a murder mystery but with some twists along the way.
The Pine family really has gone through some major life-changing situations (their son was convicted for killing his girlfriend many years before)- and then they are found dead on vacation in Mexico. It’s up to the one remaining (alive and free) family member, Matt Pine, to try and figure out what happened - and why. Luckily, he has some really good friends and a badass FBI agent on his side to help him through.
I figured this one out as soon as the killer was introduced - it was really that easy for me to figure it out. I am really good at guessing, but in my mind, there was no other suspect. I didn’t waver once from my suspicion.
That didn’t make it less enjoyable, but it wasn’t very suspenseful because of it. I still really liked the story and especially enjoyed the before and after perspectives of several characters as well as snippets from the documentary about the murder and the Pine family.
