For some reason, I didn't review this the first time I read it, but I'll review it now.

This was selected for our book club this month, and I knew I had read it in the past, however I couldn't remember much about it, so I opted to read/listen to it again.

I am a big fan of Riley Sager. I like his style of writing and creating suspense in his psychological thrillers. I also enjoy the twists and openings he leaves at the end of a lot of them. This wasn't an exception.

When three girls went missing 15 years ago at summer camp, Emma was the fourth in the cabin. Now, she has returned at the owner's request to teach art. She decides to do it to help her find the closure she never got when her friends went missing in the past. But then things start to get weird, playing with her mind more and more.

I enjoyed the story and didn't mind the back-and-forth jumps it took. The characters were built up well, and many were loved and hated based on how he portrayed them in the book.

A solid 4-star book.
