such a gripping read!! one of the only times i found myself unable and unwilling to think of a resolution - I let the book tell the story without cutting it off at the head (pardon the expression) 
at times a bit long-winded and drawn out, but i kinda liked it that way. very disturbing

What a heartbreaking book. 
There were mulitple parts that my blood was boiling or my stomach hurt. It was graphic and gruesome. It painted an image I couldn't get out of my head, though I didn't want it there in the first place. 

It was depressing and gut-wrenching. The ending 😭😭 

So well written. The definition of a white knuckle thriller/mystery.

Oh, to be able to blame all of the things that have gone wrong in you and your family's lives on one man.

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. 

I sobbed, I gasped, I cringed and I squirmed. 

The most gripping book I have ever read.

It was dark and fun to listen to. I felt that the author took some leaps to get to where she wanted. Still fun, but a but surealistic in the progresion of thinking and events.
