Overall an enjoyable read.

Agreed, I thought so too. It wasn’t very likely, and it just seemed to be a way to artificially amp up tension. I’ll give Penny a pass, as a new author.
However I think far too many mystery writers throw their characters into the deep end towards the end of the book. I find it a very annoying convention, because it’s usually either out of character, or a ridiculous risk for anyone to take. It interrupts the story, so I usually
and skip past the scene, so I can get back to the actual book.
