I thought this was good but I liked Daisy Darker better. I love wintry thrillers and thrillers set in confined spaces and it was great for those aspects but the characters grated on me and the twists were just....less is more sometimes, no?

This book was fast paced and kept me reading. Each chapter was a little bit of a cliffhanger, and it was interesting to read the story from multiple perspectives.

4.0

Nice book. Liked the plot twists and the way story progressed: it’s like I’ve been changing who I’m sided with throughout the story.
I just wish it was faster at the beginning, the first 200 pages were exhausting to read and I couldn’t wait for the story to climax. Also didn’t really understand the purpose of adding

private investigator

it gave a lot of information much needed for a plot twist but eventually led to nothing and ended abruptly. 
Overall good thriller, would recommend.
