HOLY TWIST! This tense, fast-paced thriller was full of surprises and had me hooked! The dual POV added even more suspense, it was like a cliffhanger at the end of each “part”. Both main characters (Lee and Hazel) were well developed and totally believable. I often feel that there are plot details and/or deviations that aren’t necessary in mystery/thriller novels and I did not feel that way while reading this one. The plot twists had me on edge and both characters’ fear was palpable. I can absolutely see why this was on so many Best of 2023 lists!
