Really engaging whodunnit thriller with a fabulous did-not-see-coming twist at the end. There were a couple of somewhat unplausible details and coincidences, but overall a really entertaining, fun thriller. Solid narration on the audiobook.

The ending of this book is beautifully done to tie this story together but it doesn’t make up for the fact that this book is painfully confusing, boring, and slow for the first 85% of the plot. I did not feel any intrigue until halfway through. Slightly disappointed…
