This was a four star read that I was enjoying more than “The Silent Patient.”

The ending perhaps would have brought this down to three, but the true reason I gave it two stars?

He killed a dog. Unnecessarily. A rule very rarely to be broken, and for this plot purpose, certainly not the exception needed to break it.

Ending was a tad rushed and a little predictable. Buildup was good. Characters were ok. A little bland. Everyone in this book has  daddy issues, my lord.
I did not like how Sebastian was a pedo? Why couldn't Zoe have just been delusional and unwell and therefore fantasize about him wanting her, instead of him actually loving his 15 year old niece? That's so weird, and you already had Fosca sleeping with his barely legal students. It wasn't needed. I don't know why Sebastian needed to be a nasty criminal in order for Mariana to finally start to move on from him. So that way she could not be as traumatized by learning that her niece is a maniacal serial killer who used Mariana's good will and want to protect her daughter-like figure from the danger that her own serial killer niece made up? It's a tad much.
