I'm all over the place on this one. Let me break it down:
The audiobook - Very well done.
The mystery/plot before the big reveal - Fun stuff, I do like an upper-crust mystery. And rich people's family drama is morbidly fascinating. Is it odd that I don't read tabloid news in real life, but I find it entertaining in my reads?
The romance - It was okay.
The ending/resolution - Yikes.

This one really worked for me. There was no ocelot, but still a solid read. Was the "who" ever really a question here?? I don't think it was meant to be. I like the how and the why parts of this mystery and how everyone and everything tied together.
