I really enjoyed this book. I have loved the few other works this author has published that I have read, and this one was no exception. There were plenty of twists and turns throughout to keep me on my toes. My one flaw is that is a cut and paste of "Rear Window" in many aspects, which made some of it predictable.

Just couldn't get into it. Too much talk about toxic drinking alcohol.

4.0

I enjoyed this book enough to give it 4 stars. the plot twists were all crazy and unexpected. you'd think you had it figured out and then it jerked you the opposite direction. almost a little too many plot twists, could have done with one less, but that's ok. I didn't particularly enjoy the

supernatural element that came into play

but it slightly redeemed itself at the end.

I wish Casey died in the water, I would have liked to see how that played out lol
