Pretty good book! The beginning fourth is a bit slow after the beginning incident, but as soon as the ball starts actually rolling, it picks up! Considering this is a pretty short read, the first fourth being kinda a slog doesn't ruin it entirely, since when it picks up it Picks Up!
The shortness also helps it; it gets in, tells it's story, and gets out. A great bite sized thriller to enjoy, especially since there's a good audiobook version of it!
An enjoyable read about the effects of trauma on two sisters who have never truly had to deal with their trauma and being actively unable to deal with it properly because... well, the world is what it is. Doesn't help that one of them also is a serial killer.
