I did, however, guessed a couple of the plot twists/revelations that happen toward the end pretty early on. And I feel like there were some holes in some characters' motivation in line with the plot, and I feel like it didn't give ALL the answers.
Again, very solid. The only other one that I've read by the author is The Turn of the Key and that one was great as well, so... I see more Ruth Ware books in my future!
