A semi-predictable thriller. I had hoped to enjoy this more than the other book of hers I read, and I did but it still wasn't spectacular. I likely won't pick up a book of hers again, as I don't enjoy them that much. I found the villain to be easy to spot.
The characters were quite unlikeable and hard to sympathize with. This made it harder to enjoy the book.
The writing did keep me engaged and there were some twists I didn't see coming.
Narrator(s) Rating: 4.5 stars
All the narrators did an excellent job, though the one who did Emma's voice was a bit flat. They were the only reason I bothered to finish the book.
