Theodosia Benton, aspiring writer and law school dropout, shows up on her brother's doorstep with two suitcase. an unfinished novel, and finds way more than she bargained for.
This is a keeps-you-guessing mystery thriller that I really enjoyed. I found Theo and her brother Gus to be pretty well fleshed out protagonists, and the underlayer of conspiracy theories in the vein of forum posts at the beginning of chapters helped set an enjoyably tense mood. My only critique is that the last third of so of the book drags, only to then ramp up in action very suddenly and a little chaotically.
Thank you to Sulari Gentill, Poisoned Pen Press, Sourcebooks Inc, and NetGalley for my advanced reader copy.
