The first half I found rather boring. The second half I raced through to find out what happened.
I felt disappointed by the plot - I don’t think it was cleverly enough done - it wasn’t really a puzzle the readers could work out. It was also grim in a not fun way - there were hints of sexual violence that just took this away from campy thriller to yikes plz stop and the protagonists backstory is just so over the top sad it is unnecessary.
The side characters aren’t particularly developed - they felt one dimensional.
The writing was also disappointing (a lot of not good similes.) I also caught on to the author being a man on the second page bc of a very weird passage describing a woman in a way only a male author describes a woman - yes of course her “breasts” and bra were mentioned.
It does what you want a thriller to do and keeps you hooked but I can’t say I’m overly satisfied or that it’s overly memorable.
Moderate: Sexual content and Sexual violence

What an awesome thriller! Loved the slow build and the twists at the end. Loved Anna as a character as well and really learned something from her.
