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

This whole book is a wild ride from beginning to end. The dialogue was a little clunky but the twists were things I never saw coming.

3.5

This book was super readable and hard to put down, but that being said it was overhyped which left me disappointed. I was expecting crazy twists but I predicted two major twists (something I’m not usually great at), and then I kept waiting for the real twists which didn’t happen. Lily was a really interesting character but someone pointed out in another reviews that none of POVs had distinctive voices, which is so true. If this is really the best of the thriller genre, maybe this genre isn’t for me!
