I binge listened over 2 days. I found the ending pretty meh, but the journey there was fun and intriguing.

I really enjoyed how this book was written. It kept me guessing and the story ended up in a way I never expected!

I needed a fantasy break because I've been losing pace, and this was the perfect switch. It starts with two people plotting a murder, and I loved reading from inside the criminal's head. I was always listening for their next mistake or screw up that would end it all. I've been struggling to read, but I ate this book up, and Swanson definitely got me with some twists

Heard this is a really good thriller that helps you get into thrillers. I thought it was fine. Lily is interesting, but I felt her development felt rather shallow at points. Yes there are twists, and the first one was the most surprising. After that I kind of wanted the book to just… finish. Then the backtracking between POVs is probably what annoyed me the most, as it was an intentionally mysterious device to reveal plot twists. It’s good, wouldn’t call it great.

A wild cat & mouse story. Loved the multiple POVs and nods to Agatha Christie along with other famous mystery writers.

Really fast paced read; lost a whole day of housework to this one. Several twists throughout and a cliffhanger at the end that made me want to pick up the next book asap.
