 TW: Rape, Domestic Violence, Eating Disorder, Miscarriage

What a great mystery. I thought this story had such good pacing. Most thrillers end the chapters reminding you that one of them won't make it home alive but this novel didn't do that at all. I really REALLY enjoyed that Emma's story never progressed until Jane found information that allowed her story to progress. I think the only redeemable character in this story is Jane everyone else is so terrible which I think was the point. I have a hard time telling when characters are meant to have a redeeming aspect to them in thrillers. I also think Edward should just go see a therapist and get diagnosed.
