1.5

As someone who reads a lot of thrillers and mysteries, I’d like to think I have good taste when it comes to that genre. And this book isn’t a very good mystery. There isn’t a lot of intrigue or suspense. And I don’t really care about any of the characters, especially Georgia. Georgia feels like a bratty teen girl in a way that grated on my nerves. Partly due to the writing style with its all caps. I felt disconnected to this book. If it was longer and dwelled more on character motivation and leaned into the average citizen solves a mystery aspect more, it might have been more compelling, but it rushes through its plot in a scant 200+ pages, making it way too fast to care about anything happening.
