Wow - as far as psychological suspense goes, this was one for the books! I found it a little repetitious at times, but it's a fast read.

1.5

As a disclaimer, I probably would’ve DNFed this book if I hadn’t been reading it for a book club. It really wasn’t for me. 
The characters were insufferable, and every move being made by the author was very transparent.
