Fast paced thrill ride from start to finish!
I almost didn't read this one based on terrible reviews of another book from the author. I'm glad I did. I love fast paced thrillers with good character development, and this checks all the boxes. I am not a fan of jumping around the time-line, as this story does, but it was so quick paced that I didn't really mind. Thoroughly enjoyed this one from cover to cover!

Enjoyable page turner
Although I was a little confused at first, seeing the days earlier/days later section headings, once the story pulled me in (right away) I fell easily into the rhythm of before and after. Wondering if it would have made more since to me if those words had been used instead. Anyway, the pace of the story was almost perfect, with only 2 or 3 back-story descriptions that I found myself skimming when I may have needed to pay attention. I had already guessed some of the twists and turns long before they were revealed, but reading how they unraveled was still quite enjoyable because of the author’s gift of story telling.

An easy read thriller that's less about figuring out who did what and more about the motives driving their actions.

For the most part, this was a fun read! Did I skim portions of it because it was getting a little too long-winded and theatrical? Yeah... 🤷🏻♀️

I like how this turns into an empowering story about women helping each other. Turns the genre around a bit.
