While there are many content warnings for this book (as there are for most mystery/thriller books in general), I do not think that the author went into graphic detail about triggering things (which is good). For example, TW:
The only part that I found confusing was how many characters to keep track of. I made a list and will put it under the spoiler’s section.
Least spoilers character list:
Patrick Kilgore -
Lindsey Kilgore -
Stephanie Kilgore -
Hannah -
Erica Voss.
Nile Foot -
Carrie -
Cheryl Manning -
Greg Miller -
Robert Lang -

Graphic: Murder, Gaslighting, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Car accident, Death, Blood, Infidelity, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Vomit, Pregnancy, Alcohol, and Infertility
This book wasn’t overly graphic about most details, which was appreciated. The ending was a bit more graphic, but was still manageable. I didn’t find it triggering/activating. The biggest content warning would be for manipulation.ashwatever98's review against another edition
