Four stars because it was a good audiobook distraction during work. But it was about 30% longer than it needed to be, unfortunately. Hard to review without being spoiler-y, so here it is: The twists (if you're paying attention, you'll see them coming a mile away) basically stopped halfway through, and then it was just explanation for the last half. Yeah, it was entertaining and I enjoyed seeing the characters change in my estimation over the last half, but it probably didn't need to be as long to get there. Speaking of characters changing, Heather was a completely different person in the last chapter...what the heck.

Two things I'm not a huge fan of in thrillers: an ending where every single character gets some type of happy ending and an ending where the moral of the story is spoon-fed to me instead of letting me figure it out myself. This book has both of those things and definitely suffers because of it, but on the whole it was still a pretty decent read and I was interested in the story the whole way through.
