dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

Unfortunately pretty disappointed by this one. I picked it up after hearing it has a snowed-in winter setting. While the setting for that portion of the book WAS great for this time of year, I didn’t know that there were multiple timelines that wouldn’t revolve around that winter theme. I found the multiple timelines extremely predictable and I guessed the “twist” about who everyone was way too early on for my liking. Overall just not my cup of tea, maybe for people who haven’t read many thrillers yet!
