SO FREAKING FUN. I kind of guessed the twist which normally bothers me BUT it was still delightful when it happened. This consumed me for a whole day. There was something about the
boyfriend being her father that felt weirdly unsatisfying, and I didn’t find it believable that he’s this murderous guy and she never saw red flags in him. I also thought the ending with Lenora and her dad staying in the crumbling house weird and unlikely.
Other than that spoiler I loved the book and am running to read more Riley Sager.
