3.5 ish/maybe 4 stars. Subverted tropes and had a compelling plot and writing + portrayals of guilt, but had elements a little too unreal for the rest of the story
4.5⭐️! I really enjoyed John’s tribute to first responders and law enforcement. This was a fast-paced, rather gory, twisted tale but John still managed to raise awareness for macular degeneration and the lifelong effects of childhood trauma. Well done!
I have read five mystery/thrillers in a row and each one was less satisfying than the one before. Time for a pallet cleanse!

I really enjoy John Marrs books. This was my second of his and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the characters and found the idea of being able to recognise every face really interesting! It was perfectly paced for me and I flew through this. I would really recommend this book.
