While the writing wasn't great in either of the McFadden novels I've read, at least The Housemaid was a better book, plot-wise. This just completely fell flat. It was interesting enough to keep me reading, hoping the plot would make more sense as I progressed, but the kind of book where the more I think about it, the worse it seems in hindsight. Maybe giving it what amounts to a 50% is a little harsh, but it does reflect the coin toss feeling I got while reading, wondering if the next few pages would be an enjoyable easy read or endlessly irritating.
