I don't think this book deserves all the negative reviews it got. Like yes the second half got really slow and not a whole lot happened, but I was still invested all the way up until 75% and then I just skipped to the end to see who the killer was lol. It was exactly who I thought it was but I read a lot of thrillers. It was a nice read for a rainy afternoon. Not too long but not too short. I personally wouldn't recommend this though. It wasn't terrible, it was just alright.
Graphic: Blood, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Violence, and Stalking
Minor: Alcoholism, Mental illness, and Terminal illness
