I don't know if I loved this entry in this genre. The style and structure was to die for but it was too up in the air and it never came down.

❗️Major Spoilers❗️

I wanted Josie to get caught. Then the truth was revealed in a hazy epilogue?

A good ride but I don't know if I'll be reading more thriller mysteries soon. It was a thrill though.

I would give it a lower score but I might just not like this genre so I bumped it up lol.
