I enjoyed every moment of this... right up until I didn't.  I struggled with the plot holes and how unbelievable the big twist was. The ending I made up in my head was better than the one we were given. 

Fun read, but don't expect too much.

I honestly really enjoyed this but I do agree w the reviews saying that the story isn't realistic to how police investigations would go but I really enjoyed the storytelling part & the emotion. I do think Meredith was dumb as a brick, which was annoying but dumb ppl exist so it's possible

kept my attention the entire time. when i wasn’t reading it, i was wondering about delilah. so so sooooo good. mary kubica is phenomenal at writing in tension and anxiety with quick, simple sentences that make the book move just as quickly as the sequences in the book. i made several theories throughout the book of who did what and was only right about a small detail. plot twists for sure.

the book is a LITTLE heavy. things are mentioned, but not explained in graphic detail, but if you are super sensitive to those topics, best to avoid.
