I enjoyed the book but the first half of the book was very confusing.  The constant time shifts made it hard to get to know the characters.

Meh - kinda felt the plot had so many strains that it affected the pace. I'm always surprised by how long her books are for pacey crime thrillers.

I only started this series because I accidentally bought the newest book and can’t be bothered to return it yet don’t want to read that one first. 🙃 I think I’ll be doing it out of spite because I did not love this book. It wasn’t hot garbage but there was a lot going on, most of which was unnecessary.

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.
