Was very mid and there wasn’t much plot really, I didn’t even need to follow it and tbh I barely could. It could have been wayyyyy better written and could have been so much more clever! Was dark in places but overall not really. Felt like a book for men who would say ‘finally, a decent book’ because it was occasionally violent and rapey.

I’m not a huge mystery/thriller fan but this was a pretty good book. I didn’t exactly find it terrifying. When I first saw this book at the used bookstore I expected it to be more horror than thriller so I was slightly disappointed with that. I’m used to reading his newer books which are more science fiction types and I really enjoy those. This is pretty good though for a mystery/thriller
