I’m familiar with his stories from many Netflix series, and this one fit right into the same pattern. His writing style, can very much play out in your head as a TV show.
Super easy to read, fast paced & once the story kicked off I was kept interested enough to keep going & going to find out what was happening.
It wasn’t super high stakes, which is what I usually like, but nonetheless a solid grounded story.
My only reason for not having a higher rating is due to the fact that the twist was kind of alluded to earlier in the story, therefore the reveal was kind of just having the characters figuring it out & solidifying the little details. I personally prefer when the twist catches me totally off guard.
Nonetheless an easy, enjoyable & digestible thriller!

The premise was interesting. A man serves 5 years in prison, falsely convicted of killing his young son. Then his ex sister in law shows up with a picture of a boy that looks identical to his son, down to the birth mark on his face. Is the story a little fantastical and unrealistic? Yes. But is it still enjoyable? Certainly.
I had a few issues with the locations and the pacing. It all seemed to happen too quickly. They traveled between states so fast. Also the FBI agents on the case were a little too corny that it took me out of the story at times. I think the main FBI guy Max reminded me a bit of the agent in the “Boondock Saints”. A smart know it all who easily pieces it together.
