I enjoyed this audiobook! The different narrators make the story come to life. The beginning is slow, but the atmospheric writing style makes up for it. Foley's writing makes you feel like you're living in the apartment with the characters. There are several twists and turns; I would say they aren't too predictable. But take that with a grain of salt because I don't read a lot of thrillers. My only fault with this book is Jess' poor decision-making. Jess is presented as a street-smart, no-nonsense woman, but some of her choices throughout the book left me cringing. It seemed like a cheap way to move the plot along.
