Between the unlikable characters, iffy writing, and confusing storyline, I will not be reading another book by this author. If I hadn't been listening to the audiobook  (I had a number of problems with the narrator as well, but that's a whole other thing) instead of reading the paper copy, I would have given up less than halfway through. For a thriller, there was a remarkable number of scenes that felt like they were written for/from the male gaze, which was offputting from a female author. Will not be recommending this.
