This is up there for one of my favorite thrillers. There was a ton of mystery and suspense but it also was fairly fast paced so although I was anticipating what was going to happen, I wasn’t sitting on information too long before it became clear. As a true crime fanatic, I took interest in the plot and loved the amateur sleuthing that Drew, Autumn and Max get into. The dual POVs provide interesting insights into the timeline that really get the head spinning by the second half of the book. I’ve added more Megan Lally to my TBR because I thought this story was told wonderfully so I’m very intrigued to read more of her work soon.

Tense book with lots of twists that I did not see coming! 
As some other readers mention, it felt more juvenile than other thrillers I've read. Perhaps skewed for a younger audience. Overall, the tone of the book was excellent-- very creepy and stressful. I found the characters to be fully formed and fleshed out. 
Would recommend.
