...Yet another thriller that I did not enjoy.  It was filled with characters that had one main facet which was being awful.  Would not recommend.

This is such a good mystery. I love Lucy Foley's style of writing multi-perspective books as it makes you question what you really know about the characters. She is great at leading you off the scent of what actually happened to Ben, and the mystery is written perfectly.

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

3.75

There’s a lot of time spent building everything up for it to all fall into place in the end. The first part of the book is fairly slow but picks up later on. It didn’t fully live up to expectations but was an easy and engaging read.
