I have so many thoughts about this book. Really so much of it should have been obvious, but it kept me on my toes. I think part of it hit harder due to the inclusion of events during the holocaust. Interesting book, I do recommend it. I’ll be interested in reading other works by this author.

If you like psych thrillers you won’t want to miss this one. The connections made, the whodunit and why, all of it was very well done.
I could have done without the cliff hanger attempt in all honesty - but I see why she did it!

Great ending twist. Enjoyed the multiple sub-plots, but felt like some of them were too drawn out. Overall highly enjoyable thriller that kept me on my toes.

It took a bit for me to get into this book. The chapters cycle through multiple character’s accounts. Once I could keep the names and information straight it was fun to guess the outcome. I was half right and was very surprised by the final chapter.
