3.0

There was nothing wrong with this book per se, I just struggled to connect with it. I found all of the characters to be quite unlikable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - I just would've preferred there to have been at least one or two characters I did like or did connect with in some way, particularly when - for a thriller - this is quite character-driven. 
There were a few twists and turns throughout, but I feel the author did give quite a lot of clues making many of them relatively easy to guess. There were still many elements of this book I did enjoy, however. I'm always a fan of multiple perspectives and this is something that Faulkner executed well. 
I know I can be quite a harsh critic when it comes to thrillers because I've read so many, and so many GOOD ones - but, unfortunately, this one was no more than an average read for me.
