A slow burn thriller that kept me guessing until the final chapters. I didn’t think anything here was groundbreaking, but I enjoyed exploring the twisted web of relationships within this novel. The characters were imperfect and very human, and the ending was worth the ride. On the whole, this book left me satisfied.
