The California Girl (Paperback Bunko)

The California backdrop feels almost like a character itself, adding layers to the mystery. I wonder if the location was chosen for its specific vibe or stories.

The story had a great build-up, but the middle chapters felt a bit slow for me. Curious whether this was a deliberate choice to deepen character development.

The clues were well-distributed, making me suspect multiple characters. I'm interested in how the author planned the pacing of revelations to keep readers guessing.
