This was a pretty good dual timeline thriller. I enjoyed this book, but it wasn't a stand-out, in my opinion.

I wasn't super interested when it would go back to the earlier timeline. I liked the current timeline story and found myself not as engaged during the earlier timeline, which I think made it harder to get into overall. I felt that the end was a bit rushed, but the story was still good.
