I just can't decide how I feel about this one. The male lead is an idiot, the presentation of the evidence is given in a way that doesn't really help us solve the case, and the twist is... good, but also not what I was expecting or really wanted.

2.5

Ended up giving it a 2.5. I started reading it and almost dnf after the first couple of chapters but then had a long drive so put the audiobook on. Adam's chapters/narration kept me in, it was actually kind of funny in places (not sure if it was meant to be), but Sarah's chapters and narrator were not good. I would have evened it out with a 3, but the ending made me roll my eyes so hard I was in danger of driving off the road. (This scenario is more plausible than this book).

this book was fantastically written; kept me on the edge of my seat throughout its duration, but left something to be desired with the ending. it was lackluster and docked a star from the rating. had very good potential, but it still one i’ll definitely recommend. draws you in and holds your attention well. a really good binge book
