Hmmmmm.....I really enjoyed this book, I really did. Is it a new favorite? Definitely not. I just don't think that the pacing of this book was as fast as I would have liked it to be. I really prefer thrillers that reveal concrete things all throughout the book, like little nuggets of information that give you another puzzle piece as to who the killer is and what happened. I feel like it did that a little bit but it was few and far in between. I am happy that I didn't guess the ending and all the different povs were easy to follow but this book just didn't give me the five star feeling. Also, the way it was written took me out of the story a bit too and I couldn't connect fully to the characters for this reason. Overall it was a very enjoyable thriller but nothing special or mind blowing.
Another great book from Shari Lapena, with a good surprising enough ending. 4.5 stars rounded down to 4 just because this was a bit too scary for me, almost leaning a tiny bit towards horror and not just the thriller genre. But overall a really good book and would recommend.
