Don't read if you're in book club!! I enjoyed this book for the thrill of the story. Definitely a page turner! I did think by the end the constant twist-and-turn was poking at my suspended disbelief. I also didn't feel satisfied with the ending because there were too many characters/elements that are introduced to the story throughout but seem forgotten about by the finale. With the ending being what it was, I really missed that feeling of wrapped-up resolution. I really enjoyed reading it; I just wasn't wowed by it. The CW list definitely makes the story seem more intense than it is; none of those things are explicit.
Moderate: Child death, Infidelity, Pedophilia, Suicide, Dementia, Kidnapping, Grief, and Murder
