thriller_buffet's review against another edition

This book was somewhat entertaining yet more disappointing.
If one of those siblings ended up inheriting all the money (I wished Portia had) it would’ve been more satisfying. But just a random stranger who was absent half of the book couldn’t do it for me.
I loved “My Lovely Wife” waaaaaay more.

It's really 3.5 stars. I love the twists and turns but some things in it felt a little forced and beyond believability for me!

A slow burning and twisted family road trip with an explosive ending. Samantha Downing is now 2 for 2 with her solid and very differently unique thrillers. She manages to somehow suck me in so effortlessly every time. I eagerly await her next book!

There are open endings and lazy ones. This one is just straight dumb. I think the author got stuck with the last twist and she was tired with this long senseless trip that she gave up.

That was, without a doubt, the single worst ending I've ever read in a book. Ever. And I read over 100 books a year, so that's saying something. Though I won't spoil the ending, read past the tag at your own risk.
Wow. I've never been this mad at a book before, and I've been pretty rage-y after finishing some other duds. I'm so done with this author.

I'm actually angry I wasted my time with this book. It hooked me at first because the premise of a thriller unfolding over the course of a road trip was a good one, but then it ventured into absurd territory with a soap opera plot that made very little sense and then further insulted me by not even having an actual ending. I get the feeling that what happened was the author painted herself into a corner and decided to go with this non-ending as a "clever" twist.Wow.
