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.
