Ok so here’s my beef.
The whole book, since the beginning, I knew Marco was in on it. There was no doubt about that. That fact itself threw me off because I was like “why would it be so obvious that he was involved and why just plainly say it halfway through the book?” Then we learn what we learn about Richard and it got me.
The whole story itself is very entrapping and the ending, chef’s kiss. Cynthia deserved that.
My only wish is that we had a little more from the detective’s POV at how he ACTUALLY got to his conclusions.

Meh.
I have a problem. I can't DNF a book because I feel like I'm obligated to finish what I started. And I hoped it will get better if I just trudge through the slow parts. But I might be a minority on this book. It sucked. And the WHOLE book was the slow part.
I don't know what it was exactly. I just wasn't that interested in any of this predictable plot other than the extreme detail of Anne's DID and Post-Partum Depression. i feel like I was in agony the whole time, which was a great thing because it made me feel like I WAS Anne. But the entire plot was just so predictable. Staged kidnapping for money.
I just wasn't as engaged as I usually am. Meh.
