I enjoy this authors thrillers. They’re good drama. That being said I was uncomfortable with all the flashbacks to the creepy pedophile saying creepy pedo things. Over and over. I get flashbacks but goddamn. Didn’t enjoy. Hated hearing actually. Sometimes far fetched insane thrillers are fun to theorize about and I’d say that was true with this one even though it was gross.

This one was not her best….it had a good story line but it was super wordy and overly descriptive. I found myself re-reading several sentences over again trying to figure out what she was describing. The last few paragraphs were probably the best part of the whole book.
