I feel like thrillers often miss the mark for me at the end of the novel, but this one ended on a satisfying note. It's not a perfect book; there are a few too many characters with a few too many unbelievable choices, and there are a few pacing issues. All that being said, the story is gripping, and the author reveals just enough of the characters' secrets at a time that I never wanted to stop the audiobook. I'm comfortable recommending this to anyone looking for a good mystery thriller!
