The writing was subpar, bordering on sloppy. There was a lot going on plot wise but none of it was convincing or interesting to me. I guessed some plots twists but not others. Ultimately I just didn't care one way or another.

This is the second Mary Kubica book I’ve read (first being Local Woman Missing) and she definitely stayed true to her twisty nature in this book. I guessed half of the plot twists, but one really surprised me. This was an easy listen via audiobook, but I think it might’ve dragged on if I’d been reading it, which is why it was only a 3.25 star read for me. It was a little slow until about 40-50% through and there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary details. I also didn’t love the characters. But as an audiobook, the twists were worth it.
