I wanted to like it more, but the Angie character was pretty insufferable & the fact that the killer was given away so early was disappointing.

Nothing like the show. Star rating for the craftiness of the author. Well-written, twisty, drawing you in. A lot of content that's activating for me so I ended up skipping a lot and eventually just to the end.

Gripping read. At the beginning I had no idea it was heading in the direction it did but I loved it. Great use of unreliable narration.
