I figured everything out at the beginning of the book, so a bit disappointed, but it's got some good tense moments.

My downfall will be that I’ll read anything with Riley Sager’s name on the cover just because I’ve liked a couple of his books. But good god, that doesn’t mean he should be allowed to write just anything.

the main character’s sister is a missing person, has nothing to do with the actual plot itself and it is not resolved. It’s just something brought up a lot.
