Freida McFadden writes great psychological thrillers with many twists and it keeps you guessing the whole way through. I enjoy her plots and the premise of her books. Typically I don't connect with the characters and that's fine with me. There were times in this book that I got SUPER annoyed with some of the decisions that the main character made so which knocked it to a 3.75/4 star instead of a 4.5 star. I liked the different clues that were put out there along the way and that she writes great psychological thrillers without having a red herring that made no sense. 

I will continue to read her. books because they are fun, quick smart thrillers.
