I did like this book!  I think it’s a strong debut and my first Riley Sager book.  I can tell that Riley Sager is a fan of horror and thrillers, growing up consuming slasher movies.  The plot took a while to kick in but once the train got moving it was non stop.  Quincy reminds me a lot of Sidney Prescott and Laurie Strode, tortured and determined.  It pulls from the best parts of the world’s best Final Girls.
