Meh. It took over 60% of the book for something to happen and then the good stuff happened too quickly, it felt rushed. The characters all suck, are extremely morally grey. The main character was so rude to her assistant and that bothered me a lot, but we were supposed to be rooting for her the whole time. I only liked her slightly bc she loved her kid. Of all the thrillers out there, I wouldn’t recommended this one.

I overall enjoyed the book. It has a decent pace, I liked the twist, and it had a lot of emotions specially for this genre. I wanted more action from a thriller, it felt like the twist and main action piece from the twist was really rushed and didn’t have time to develop the way it should have. I would recommend this book to someone who loves an emotional mystery.

I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

 I liked it. It dragged on for a little bit but I thought the plot twist was clever and I didn't see it coming.
