 I was hooked from the start, detective hat ON trying to figure out where it was going. 
Obviously Lisa Jewell outsmarts me every time!! The Queen of Twists!!!
Jewell has such a talent for getting me invested in deeply flawed characters and getting right into the grey areas.  Always playing with perspective in surprising ways!

Even with figuring out "who dun it," I still raced through this thriller.  I tried listening to this on audio, but with characters named Jenna and Joey, I couldn't follow it.  It was much easier to read in print.
