It was an excellent thriller, and it was great on audio. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained.

She just killed her former friend but I also think its not her fault because maybe she just did that because of her illness but I'm glad that Cora is back with them safe and sound.

This book is ok. Not great not terrible. I felt it was really slow for such a small book. I wanted to push trough as I absolutely love another book from this author. At the 70% mark, I was could not stop and the end was worth it. I guessed some part of what would happens as it was predictable to me. What is good? Yes and no. Would I recommend? I don't know... But for the last chapter, yes!

Great idea but I knew exactly who "did it" in the first few chapters, it wasn't hard to figure out. There was still some twists and turns throughout the rest of the book but nothing spectacular.
