Overall, a great thriller. A little odd at times, but the author kept me guessing on what was next. It definitely has a great buildup! I wish there was more of a follow up on the ending, but I quite liked it.
I will say, there is not one good character in this book. Each one of them holds secrets and other motives. While that adds to the mystery, it also adds to the confusion of what the book was getting at. It’s the author’s first thriller, so I’m interested to see if any other ones are a little bit more well rounded.
