There's something about this that is off that's why I deducted a star. But, I liked how fast paced and exciting this is. The characters were sick and delusional which was interesting. The narrator was unreliable! Lol. I hate when that happens; why are you lying to me? 😝 Anyway, this was fun.✨

Maybe this book would’ve been better if the narrator for the audiobook didn’t give stupid voices to everyone. But also maybe not because there was only one collective brain cell between every single character.

the therapist was the best part of the book. good story, writing felt a bit weird at times, felt like it was trying to be super on the nose about leading you to believe a certain conclusion. ending twist felt a bit rushed. loved the multiple POV’s and the characters felt super complex and you couldn’t grasp an exact idea of who’s the villain and who isn’t which was nice.

Snowed in at the house of a missing psychiatrist with her husband, a woman listens to tapes of the therapist's sessions to try to solve her murder. But is someone else in the house? And one simple fact rules, everyone lies...
I enjoyed this book. It had twists I didn't see coming! I saw parts of one twist but only about a quarter of the true twist. The characters, however, weren't very likable. Tricia bent way too much to her husband and wasn't assertive at all through most of the book just her husband knows best.
Overall, a great thriller. Just not as enjoyable as it could have been with a more likable MC, but I see how that served the greater story.
