Low four star

Likes: love the pacing and love that it's set in Britain. It reads like a great bbc mystery. The twists were good but predictable. The ending was good! 

Dislikes: the main character who you're supposed to love, I didn't. She was supposed to be the victim but I didn't think she was. The antagonist was flat.

Predictable and terrifying in the sense that I’m sure people like Noel probably exist and that makes me see the world as a little worse than I previously did
