I listened on audiobook, the narrator was fab and and the initial pacing and plot were intriguing, however the rushed ending left much to be desired. Unfortunately, the author made the twist too predictable, robbing the 'big reveal' of its intended suspense. A short, quick, easy read but not the most thrilling.
