An excellent, fast-paced mystery with interesting, multifaceted characters.  The plot twists are exactly what I look for in a thriller!  I would recommend reading the trigger warnings beforehand.  The Eddie SA scene was unneccesary in my opinion.

There was a lot going on with both time lines in this book and there was never a time where everything didn’t overlap. It all came together at some point and CJ Tudor didn’t write anything for no reason. 

The only reason I have to take a star away is because there was actually a graphic sexual assault scene on page 67 that I did not think was necessary and I feel like a lot of horror books do things like this for shock value & I am not a fan really. 

Everything else about the book was great. Lots of twists and turns throughout the whole book.
