I knew a plot twist was coming. I had no idea it would be this. 

My first Riley Sager book - definitely going to read more.

Dark n twisty at its finest. Every time I had a new theory, I was almost immediately proven wrong. A little slow to set the scene but about halfway through, it picks up and does not stop! Twist after twist - read the last 150 pages in one sitting and skipped dinner.
