I listened to the audio book of this. The writing itself was fine, and so was the narration, but unfortunately, none of that helped salvage it.
The story was terribly boring and ridiculous. I didn't like any of the characters. All of them were almost nothing but comical caricatures. They were either unbelievably dumb, naïve, and apologetic idiots, or righteous, gaslighting assholes. The only likeable character was the dog. And perhaps sometimes the baby.
No matter how much I sped it up the pace of the audio of this book, I couldn't get properly through the story. About halfway through, I couldn't take it anymore, so I skipped a few chapters forwards every few minutes in the hopes that I would eventually get to something interesting - but the story was so slow and repetitive that I could hardly even tell that I'd skipped anything until I was close to the end. The ending was unnecessarily ridiculous and twisty, but all in all not very surprising or interesting.
Thrillers are usually my jam, and based on the description, I figured that this book would be right up my alley, but no matter what I did, I just could not get through it in the proper way. It was just too boring, too annoying, and too ridiculous. Just skip this one and go find an actually interesting thriller - there are so many out there much better than this.
