I mean this was fine. It was kind of slow and boring. Most of it I did see coming except one thing, but at that point I was just like whatever about the story. I also hate how we can’t have just a happy couple to be honest like the affair did not even make sense. Honestly I would probably skip this one.

It was a decent read. I listened to the audio book while driving so it was fun to hear while driving.

Not my favourite of Mary Kubica’s book, but it was still a fun ride! I always love a POV switch combined with short chapters. 

It was fun, with enough crumbs to keep you turning the pages quickly.

At first this book went slow and I was worried I wouldn’t find the motivation to finish it (married couples who blindly stick to their partner and not call cops are a red flag for me) but it picked up when I needed the twist and it was easy to finish this in a few hours.
