One of the better thrillers I've read. Everyone made this out to be really twisty though and I'd say it's pretty standard for this genre.

run of the mill whodunnit murder thriller, i guess - teetered between 3 and 4 but the twists did give it an edge as far as plot went. This is a significant step up from what other writers (maybe Freida McFadden) would do but I did feel that the characeterisation was still a little lacking, maybe Lisa Jewell would be slightly better. That said, I also felt that there shoudl've be slightly more attention given to the adam arc, which felt like it sprang out of nowhere and was a twist meant for a twist
The story, despite its multi-layered narrative, was communicated fairly clearly and I didn't have any issues following the characters despite reading this over several sittings. I felt sucked into the characters and felt like I wanted to root for the bad guys, and the ending compelled be enough to keep the pages turning. So I shan't be too hard on this despite some weaknessses, like being slightly too long

DNF at 15%. I was this story but this early on in the audiobook the narrator had said “nucular” instead of “nuclear” 3 times in two different chapters and I just can’t, it gives me the ick!
