This was a good one! I thought it was kind of slow but had so many smaller plots within the big plot that it kept my interested. Oh my goodness the ending was something I never saw coming! I kept trying to figure out the twist but never imagined what actually happened, even though after I found out, it seemed obvious! It was a very sinister ending…

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.

Ms. McFadden gets me every. single. time. I really thought I had this one figured out to my core from the beginning and I was SO WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! The twists were BEYOND shocking in this one. The only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is this book did not have her best epilogue in my opinion. Otherwise, bravo Frieda - you played me AGAIN.
