Very enjoyable book. Slightly slow at the start, but once you get into it it is quite a page-turner. Interesting narrative switching from POV.

I am so surprised by the ending. The epilogue giving the final twist that she did indeed shoot her kidnappers.  I did not see it coming that they kidnapped her and drugged her! Wow.

dark mysterious tense

3.75

Another intriguing mystery by Claire Douglas. I loved the way the mystery was unravelled.  the use of news stories to embellish the story and the way she weaves together multiple POVs and timelines. But I did feel like there was a bit of depth lacking - a lack of resolution/consequences and almost like some of the horrors of what happened were just brushed off?
