A perfectly fine way to spend an evening but the book, in its entirely, is utterly forgettable. There are some interesting storylines in there, but I literally just put the book down and I’d have trouble explaining any of them. Or match the character names to their subplot. SO many characters. SO many rich white people. Meh.

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!
