This was a really solid slow-burn suspense novel. I think Sally Hepworth did a good job developing believable and interesting characters, while still encouraging the reader to wonder "who really are these people?" While I found the ending to be a little quieter than I expected for a thriller, I overall really enjoyed this one and would definitely read more from the author in the future. Good way to start 2022!
