However for those who love psychological thrillers that offer up an 'unhinged' female character and nauseating white middle class society interspersed with a mysterious air- this might be for you.

While I personally have found I’m not crazy about psychological thrillers like this, I can appreciate that it is well written.
However, the third person narration left me wanting more…
Overall, it was a solid read. Not one I’ll revisit, but not one that will slip out of my memory anytime soon.
