Books like Lullaby And Goodnight

I don't like writing critical book reviews because I know how much time and effort went into creating the story, but I did not care for the writing style or plot development in Lullaby and Goodnight. I chose this author because she was compared to Mary Higgins Clark, and I've run out of new MHC books to read. I agree that both authors write mysteries, but that is where the similarities end for me. MHC writes with a grace and urgency that was missing from this book, which made it feel disjointed and confusing at times. But my biggest complaint is that I felt duped. After I read the ending, I went back and read the murderer's sections, trying to figure out if I had misinterpreted the character. Instead of creating a suspenseful plot that culminated in a shocking ending, I felt that the author lied to me, writing things from the character's perspective that eliminated her as a suspect. I understand the need to throw the reader off the murderer's scent, but I prefer an ending that wraps up all the loose ends rather than creating a slew of new ones. On the bright side, it was nice to read a book with an all-female lead cast, and their stories intertwined interestingly.
