2.0

Can I say I'm disappointed when I did not except a thing?

I liked the ending, however

I'm tired of reading thrillers that end up being about horny women bedding someone's husband.

The build-up wasn't great and the twists didn't work because there was barely any clues to begin with. Lack of information does not make a twist great. Poorly done.

This was a solid brain-candy thriller. The writing is fairly strong, and the story is an easy enough read that I read essentially the whole thing while home sick with the flu. 

Gave it the rating I did because although I found several elements predictable I didn't find it boring and I had a good time reading it. Will probably also forget all about it in a week or two. All in all, would recommend this as a solid way to spend a day when you have nothing else to do (beach read, rainy day read, sick day read... whenever you have a day to fill with easy entertainment)
