Book Review: The Favorite Daughter by Kaira Rouda

Review

This was my first time reading this author and it wasn’t a bad read. This book is supposed to be a psychological thriller but I didn’t find it to be that way for me. Often times I would laugh at the tactics Jane pulled throughout the story. When we got to the ending I really would have liked a flashback of the night Mary died from her point of view and the killer. I would have also liked a point of view from David who is Jane’s husband as well. This story had tremendous potential but it was predictable at certain parts. I did feel the ending was abrupt and a little flat. I would have liked to see the characters a few months later after the dust had settled. Overall, I did like Rouda’s writing style and I am not against reading another story by this author.
