Book started off a little slow but was worth the wait to get to the many twists to come! Couldn’t put the book down. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good thriller book. Some parts felt unrealistic but was still an enjoyable read

I liked this.  It could be a little frustrating at times,  and the characters can be infuriating, but it kept me guessing.  I couldn't wait to pick it back up and figure out what would happen. I'm usually an excellent "predictor" but this one had me stymied more than once.  I read this regularly,  so I'm not sure on the audio experience.
