This was just ok. I was really excited to read it because I LOVED "Local Woman Missing", but this didn't keep my interest the same. It took me a few months to finish because I kept getting bored with the plot and writing...I'd pick it up and read something else for a bit. I'm glad I finished because I hate not finishing books, but could have done without reading :/

The writing was probably the most annoying to me, "she offered a half smile. She nods." Very simple throughout the book. I also felt like there was not a lot of depth to certain characters, like Christian was just annoyingly faithful and I would have LOVED to see Lilly's perspective throughout the book. Definitely think more could have been done

Maybe I am just really not good at reading thrillers, but I never guess the killer right. I was sure I knew who-done-it, but even my "outlandish guess" was off. I was shocked, but as soon as I read it, everything clicked into place.

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.
