I feel like this thriller attempted to do too many things at once, although it did keep me intrigued until the end because I kept wondering if it was possible that it would wrap up the way I’d guessed. I don’t read many thrillers, so maybe I’m out of my element in this genre, but it left quite a bit to be desired for me.

ARC Review: "Death is the one thing we all share. I was just the latest in line."

The layers of this book were beautifully done that it felt like 2 books in one, one story of grief and another story of finding justice for the voiceless and they weaved together perfectly.

The story of fighting for the voiceless took a group of internet sleuths and banded them together to solve crimes even the police couldn't handle. Even though this was a hefty book, there truly was no single moment of unnecessary fluff, every piece fed to us was valuable and that made the flow of the book so smooth and easy to follow. I found myself next to them trying to solve the puzzles and it felt so immersive.

For the 2nd story of grief and discovery, it definitely hit home since my own dad had a heart attack and that brings out the difficult conversations around what's more important to you: this lifestyle that's killing you or your family. I loved how honest and raw it was displayed for the reader as we joined Jane on this journey of discovering who was the man behind her father.

Easily Ashley's best book so far and I can't wait to read it again.

P.S. for my fellow Fringe fans, you'll find a fun Easter egg!
