Conflicted on the ending of this book. On one hand, of every Shari Lapena book I've read (all of them), I think this was the most captivating. I frantically turned every page desperately trying to figure out what the heck happened. The twists and turns came at me from every angle to the point I was mentally exhausted in a good way to make sure I was following the story correctly. The main problem I have with the book is the final twist/reveal, it just didn't live up to everything that had been built up in the story. I think the final solution could have been a little more intriguing/surprising. However the last paragraph of the book delivered one final twist that left me so desperate for a continuation of the story that it makes up for the not that surprising ending. Overall a good book and I'm glad I read it, but not the best I've read by Shari Lapena.
