Cassandra
A slow-burn thriller with an interesting backstory. I loved learning a little about psychopaths and wish that the book focused on that aspect a little more. I also wish the backstory was a little more atmospheric. Throwing in Nintendoes and a colorful Macs helped to dress the scene, but the flashbacks to the 90s did not feel immersive and the characters felt flat in that regard. Once the dinner party got into swing the book read like a movie with interesting enough twists that kept me engaged. All in all, this was a good locked-room thriller and I'm excited to read more from this author.
