    Another great thriller by Alex North. When an old man is murdered around the same time a woman's brother goes missing, the police wonder if they're connected. And are they connected to the attack on the brother as a teen?
     I liked how everything tied together in the end I saw some of the threads coming together pretty early on, but not all of them. But we still had some unanswered questions I would have liked answered.
    I'm glad that this book was a bit more diverse than his other thrillers. Since a lot of UK adult thrillers don't have queer characters, and sometimes no POCs either, this had both!
    I guess I just felt a bit unsatisfied with the ending and not getting more answers on the serial killer and whether the book really tells the future question.
    Overall a great edge-of-your-seat thriller. Though I'd recommend reading an eBook or a print copy if possible, I may have missed something listening to the audio.
