WHAT ?! I feel dumb I really never saw that not till the very end where it was handed to me on a platter. The narrator made this book work, I can't image reading this in print, I think it would have be tedious. There was so much inner turmoil, that just doesn't work for me. I'm left wondering did I like this book or didn't I ? I DON'T KNOW ! I feel like I was on the crazy train and missed the last stop. It was so tangled with all these bits that just didn't fit but they had too somehow. I forced my poor tired brain to fit the puzzle together with the wrong pieces. I was a bit miffed in the end that I had to go through all those fake leads to get to the truth. LOL I don't read many Psychological thrillers, they scare me. I'm not brave enough to enjoy real monsters.
I could see this being an interesting movie
