Review: The Finishing School

The Finishing School by Joanna Goodman

Rating: 3 Stars


This was a fast and easy, albeit creepy, mystery. And even though I did figure out most of the plot points just ahead of the author’s reveal, so there were no great surprises or plot twists, it was still an enjoyable book to spend a couple of afternoons with.

My one complaint is that the whole book was very superficial. I feel like Goodman never really dig deeper than the surface with any of the characters or their relationships. Had she done a deeper dive into any of the characters, relationships, or conflicts, this would have easily jumped to a 4 or 5 star read. It’s still a good book, worth a read if you enjoy a mystery, but it’s nothing mind-blowing.
