I absolutely loved The Quiet Tenant, so when I saw this was out at the library I immediately checked it out.
It wasn’t bad. For a thriller, it was twisty, unpredictable but not truly outrageous, satisfying. But for this authors follow up, it was tremendously disappointing. The characters felt surface level, I wanted more background and I wanted more from the big reveal. I did enjoy it but the first half felt like a slog. By the halfway mark though I was pretty hooked and needed to know how it ended.
It’s unfortunate this book came immediately after The Quiet Tenant, which was/is an incredibly plotted thriller. But this isn’t bad, just a lot more of an airplane thriller than a thought provoking suspense novel.
