Definitely not a book to read if you’re struggling with alcohol. I understand it as a focus of the novel but wasn’t expecting such a heavy feature. Would rather have focused more on the crime aspect. Not my favorite though the narrator was nice.

I was into it at the beginning

then the paranormal completely threw me for a loop. I thought she must of been having some drunken delusions but no lol

I listened to this on a whim and am so glad I did! I didn't know anything going into it and the last few hours of it my mouth was just fully agape!

What a twist! I should know what to expect from Riley Sager by now, but it always catches me off guard. Loved this one.

Loved all the twists and turns, but I’m not sure the

supernatural element

was necessary or explained that well. Also don’t think alcohol/alcoholism needed to be featured as heavily (felt like every page) for readers to understand the point.
