badatplants's review against another edition
5.0
4.5 stars rounded up! Honestly, it earns its stars from plot twist whiplash ALONE. I had a mid-book “OH MY GODDDD” moment, totally gave me that same vibe from Local Woman Missing.
I did find some sections to be a bit over explained or like a bit of a reach. For example, in a high intensity moment, the protagonist suddenly remembers a class she took in college to explain her special out-of-nowhere knowledge.
Other than these moments where I was like “bleh, too much explaining”, VERY good, cinematic, delightfully easy-to-read thriller.

I've loved Mary Kubica's previous books and I did not realise she had a new book out so was pleasantly surprised to find this in the library!
I really enjoyed this one though it does have a slow start. I enjoyed part 2 a lot more than part 1 since that was when all the twists were revealed - and I didn't see them coming! The ending was a bit rushed but overall, it was an enjoyable book.
