I liked the book. It was left kind of open ended and I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing. I had a problem getting into the first half of the book. It was really slow, a little hard to keep everyone straight and I took a break for about a month and then went back and finished listening to it.

Pretty good psychological thriller. It felt dated to read it though (from 2009). The author talked about all phones being Blackberries. She also used the term “male nurse” which I probably would t have batted an eye about 12 years ago. But tones have changed and things like that stick out now.

This book was a rare case of the source material for a tv show being of lesser quality than the actual show. The writing for the HBO show is far more sophisticated and develops the characters in much greater depth than this clumsily, if somewhat imaginative, novel. I finished this one because it was a fast read but I won't be reading further into this series.

This was such a fast paced thriller that had me at the edge of my seat for most of the story. I love the different point of views through the story especially Lucinda and the killer. The way all the pieces of the mystery came together was so satisfying and at the same time the twists the author threw at us had me pausing the audiobook to take a moment to process. This was such a perfectly paced, beautifully written and exciting story.

A little bit too slow paced for my taste and I didn't like how the ending turns the shown-to-be smart protagonist into an idiot. The romantic subplot I can live without, the concept is interesting but the execution underwhealming. Also, final deus ex machina would work better if more buildup was made before. However, it is an enetertaining book, especially after the third part, and the author has potential.

The story was interesting. The ending was frustrating and unsatisfactory.

A well written story with plenty of twists and red herrings to keep you guessing. It was told from many different viewpoints so you got lots of pieces of the puzzle but still couldn't see the big picture.
