Ruth Ware does it again, a tense mystery/thriller where I did not guess the ending at all! Iverall I really liked it and there were times I felt spooked but never scared, so I wished it went a bit further in that aspect. The twists were done really well though and I liked the ending (a lot of people seemed to not like it though) 

 I would say there were times where I felt the book was moving too slow and I didn’t like the idea of this being a LONG letter she was writing to a lawyer but mostly I was able to ignore that and get engrossed in the story. It wasn’t my favorite of her books but it was still really good. Read if you like spooky domestic thrillers where you won’t guess the ending.
