I do wish there was more suspense/thrill throughout the book, as it felt pretty static with no real unexpected plot twist that shocked me.
Disclaimer: This was my first audiobook, and I think that affected some of the lackluster feelings on my end at the narrator was pretty monotone. But, I tried to keep my review as focused on the story itself rather than my audiobook as I could.
