I loved the film scenes being used throughout the book - it built tension and echoed some of Anna’s suspicions and fears.
I wish we saw more of Alistair deteriorating after Ethan kills his mom. we only really saw him get violent with Anna once in desperation and then Anna mentions him drinking a beer on the couch. I would have liked to see more of that through Anna’s eyes watching the house but also that’s hard because we only have her point of view so I’m not sure if there would’ve been a believable way to do more than what AJ Finn did.
Definitely would recommend this book ESPECIALLY if you’re in a reading slump! I couldn’t put it down.

For a 430 paged book, the true tense thrill didn’t start until around chapter 92 (roughly about 50 pages until the end) out of 100 chapters. This entire book focuses on the main character’s grief, denial, and severely irresponsible drinking problem. This book is also almost entirely single-location based on the character’s agoraphobia. While the book itself can keep you wondering who’s the murderer, some find it predictable. I also found myself being correct about most of the plot twists. The action in the story is very minimal and slow paced. If it weren’t for wanting to know who the killer was, I would have DNFed it for the pure waste of half the book.
