I finished this on 2.5x speed on Libby. Finished in 1 afternoon. Good twist about 3/4 into the book. Had me on the edge of my seat from there.

I was so into enjoying the ride instead of getting to figure out our, that I was SHOCKED when I realized what the twist was 60% in. I normally would've caught it muuuuch sooner. But goes to the writing that I was just enjoying reading it instead of solving it. And I blew right through it too! Found at a LFL and remembered I had enjoyed another book from her so I snapped it up. Definitely added Mary Kubica to my Authors list and will be looking out for her other books too!

This was a fast read at the start, however I was onto the

dissociative identity disorder

plot line fairly quickly so that was a bit of a let down in that it felt really set up and breadcrumbed really heavily.

Will being the murderer of everyone 

was surprising though. I think the Mouse storyline was also better crafted and less obvious. A few good red herrings otherwise and generally a good pace and interesting story. Would have love a more creative concept though

Mostly enjoyable. A little predictable in the very end. Disliked the complete and utter paranoia and whining of Sadie. All she EVER did was whine, whine, whine, lament, and whine more. 

PS the audio book was hard to listen to because the narrators voice sounded super robotic. I most likely would’ve enjoyed this novel more if I had read it vs listening to it.
