The ending literally ruined this book in the worst way possible. I'm giving it two stars because the writer is excellent with pacing, and does an excellent job laying groundwork that pays off later in a way that isn't too conspicuous. Unfortunately, the ending makes it clear that most things I really liked about this book are not intentional on the author's part. Literally just end the book when he leaves to drive into town for the last time and your experience will be a million times better.

Immersive and more well-written than any other suspense novel I've read to date, I believe. Slightly let down by the ending, which felt too simple and impossibly happy for the situation that had been revealed throughout the book .
