"Named One of the Most Anticipated Thriller Novels Of 2017 by Bustle! THE NEW CHILLING, PROPULSIVE NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust? Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside--the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped. But since then, she's been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn't have a baby. The only thing she can't forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt. Or the silent calls she's receiving, or the feeling that someone's watching her ... You won't be able to put down B.A. Paris's The Breakdown, the next chilling, propulsive novel from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors"--

Written well. Great suspense. Quick read. I'm afraid to write anything else. Don't want to give anything away.

Voorspelbaar, maar toch meeslepend en entertainend.
This book is a slow, slow burn and then the answers felt like they came at me all at once. This is a fine read with some tense moments that thew me off balance with the main character, but I felt like the most relevant motives happened outside the book. When everything comes to a head, the book just ends too quickly as we're told all the character motivations and background instead of seeing everything play out like in Paris' "Behind Closed Doors". In a full B.A. Paris ranking, I'd put this book in the middle or bottom of the stack.
I did not know how much I could hate every character in a book until I read this predictable peanut butter thriller. However the end of the second and the third act wasn't terrible.
