Wellll....this wasn't really my cup of tea. I did like the mystery element and didn't have it figured out when it was revealed, so that was good.
There were a lot of plot holes, questions and things that were too good to be true. For instance, the MC is a real estate renovator who wants nothing to do with "the money side of things" but she can hack into a beach camera in seconds? When seconds before, she didn't even know where it was located??
Why did it take like a week for anyone to question how the kidnappers knew where Nicole was supposed to be meeting Vanessa? In fact, now that I think about it, did that question ever actually get answered? This is not rocket science or a "plot twist"...just a big shiny DUH. Nothing is really mentioned about questioning Vanessa about the disappearance.
I thought it was weird that they allowed the old man to pack his gun before heading to get medical help. I doubt he'd be able to actually possess a gun in any kind of medical establishment.
The absolutely biggest DUH is---four days into the disappearance, Vanessa suggests someone contact the media and everyone thinks, "hey! Great idea!" WHAT???!!! Ugh. UGH. Yeah, or we could have done that like, I don't know, right when a woman was kidnapped in front of witnesses???
In fact, the whole premise of this book is too ironic to be true. Libby and Nicole happen to be interested in a property on the very island her previously-unknown-to-her family lives on---oh, and then she just happens to have inherited everything? I don't know...maybe I just missed like EVERYTHING about this story, or maybe it's ... just... not my cup of tea.
