My first Paula Hawkins book. I liked it. The narrator was great! Swearing. Not for teens.

I was really excited when I saw this book came out because I had loved Girl on a Train.  I found the book to be a little too dark and and some of the twists felt unnecessary.  While it did grab my attention, it’s ultimately my least favorite of her books.
