This was an absolutely incredible thriller! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not stop reading. It got to a point where I had to know how it ended.  I really liked the podcast sections and the dual pov.

A generous 3 stars for this forgettable 'thriller'. The rating would have been lower had I not listened to this on audio at 3x speed (the narration was painfully slow and disjointed).
