This book is kind of about how some people can use your perception about yourself, how others perceive you, and your own fears against you. It was also sad in many places, and tragic in the way that rings true to life in how people always have to twist things that should be good into terrible things.
You couldn't help feeling very bad for the victims of the story, though I can't say more without giving away the end.
It was very interesting, though the beginning took a while to gear up, once it got moving, it was full speed. Definitely fun to read!
Now, I specifically sought out the audio book of this because Armitage (actor&author) narrated several parts. I looked all over but unfortunately it seem to be available only on Amazon. Even so, it was very well done! The audio performance was great, voice actors hitting it out of the park!

I really enjoyed this book and the audio worked so well. I loved the use of different actors for the different characters. The story was good and I really hope it gets picked up for a tv series with these actors playing the parts.

Entertaining if far fetched.
I guessed one of the twists very early on, and felt the others became clear quite a while before they were revealed. I'm not clear whySarah decided to not press charges against her husband, and why the police weren't on hand to take care of Helen/Terri after the whole airport thing
