This was a tense but fast-paced read and met my expectations as a YA novel for book club.

This was a fast paced crime thriller with short chapters that helped keep interest in the story. There were perhaps a few too many subplots that slowed down the story in parts, but not hugely. It was available as a free Kobo ebook and did the trick for holiday reading.
