I read this after Woman in Cabin 10, which I did not like. This one is so much better! Parts of it were predictable, but it was still scary. Although it was told retroactively, it was well done.
Quite good thriller! Bit cliche at time at times but I liked the ending and thought the characters were generally unlikeable in a good way. Picked it up after reading The Turn of the Key by her last year and think this was better!
A Fun Enough Lark
The plot is silly thriller territory. The villain isn't really a surprise. But I was sufficiently entertained. Points for not boring me. I am tired of the fraught female friendship trope in thrillers though.
