3.0

Not a bad story but not a particular standout. The twist is predictable and the mmc is unlikeable. 

I read this as an audiobook and the reader did a great job. 

There were too many jumps in logic and reactions that just didn’t make any sense. The fbi agent apparently has an immediate trust with the mmc which just makes no sense, considering she had looked up his history and knew things about him before the reader does. 

Also when the narrator flashbacks to describe the relationship with his wife, I just got immediate red flags and ick factors.
