I wanted to love this. Face blindness has always been intriguing to me and I was sure adding that element to a thriller was going to make it so much more confusing (in a good way) and keep me guessing until the end! Sadly, that’s not how it played out. I didn’t really get any shocking reveal moments because it all felt so obvious. Too many hints provided, maybe, or just not as thoughtfully executed as Sten’s previous book (which I LOVED!). Still a quick and enjoyable enough read, though.
