I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure at first how much of a thriller it would be. But it turned out to be quite the roller coaster ride.

I enjoyed that the who-dunnit aspect didn't turn out the way I'd expected and (without spoiling it) flipped the stereotype on it's head. 

I love the then/now perspectives and the way the story is told from multiple points of view. 

Lisa Jewell is a terrific writer who comes up with chillingly good plots. This book is no exception.
