The suspense

I like all the twists and turns of the story and a bombshell ending

A juicy suspense novel

Loved this, this book began my deepest dive into true crime thrillers. Excited for more to come from this author!!

Do not read this book – listen to it!

As it often in the case, Stephanie Racine's performance takes a really good book and elevates it to superlative. The excellent storytelling techniques, going back-and-forth between first person and third person to weave it's twisty tale, is brought from the third into the fourth dimension of brilliance by this extraordinary performer.

Not for me

The book moved a bit slow to start and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narration, but for me the worst part was the ending. It frustrates me when evil wins.
I feel I need a sequel to set the world right again.
