Slow start but overall a nice read

The Note: A Novel by Alafair Burke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read this as an ARC from NetGalley.

Initially it didn't really grab me; it was quite slow, a bit convoluted in terms of their friendship, and the characters weren't terribly engaging.

I stuck with it, reading intermittingly between other more compelling (for me) reads.

Then it got interesting, and the murder mystery made me want to finish it. While it was somewhat easy to figure out the murderer, I did enjoy how it was solved.

The characters did eventually grow on me as well.

Beverage Pairing: A nice summer drink like a mojito would be the perfect pairing for this novel.
