I found the first 60% of this one to be a very entertaining read with some interesting characters. Unfortunately after that it became a convoluted, melodramatic, over the top tale where everyone ends up having a terrible secret, much of which was unnecessary for the story. Dropping Janie's mom's storyline and that of the judge would have made for a better read. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC. 3.25/5 stars for concept and the beginning.
