Definitely twisty & kept my attention, but wasn’t one that I’m like “OMG, you have to read this!” Good book though. Easy read.

If you're looking for a beach read thriller, this is it.

It's no literary masterpiece but it's engaging, addictive and just plain fun. 

Some parts were a tad predictable, but I was here for fun, so it wasn't a major issue.

I figured it out sort of. I did like the winding journey of the book and the flashbacks were great. It would have been really good in duet. First book I’ve read from this author and I thought it was great.
