I figured everything out at the beginning of the book, so a bit disappointed, but it's got some good tense moments.

4.0

A well-written psychological thriller, there were several twists I didn’t anticipate. That said, I knew who the bad guy was almost immediately. The premise of the book is good and the execution is great too!
