I wish I could give this a 3.5… I love this author but a few times I was ready to throw in the towel and just look up the ending. Things with Cass’s mental stability just drug onnnn and onnnnn. I was getting bored. The ending was totally worth it since I was so far in already. The beginning and end were great. Middle, meh.

This book was sadly predictable from the start. This plot has been done over and over again so it was fairly easy to work out the main plot. I did, however, give it three stars rather than two as some of the detail was still a surprise and, even having guessed the outcome, I still found the author was a crack at creating a suspense-filled atmosphere!

Really disliked it up until the end. The end was great. Predictable but great.

After watching her mother's decline with early-onset dementia, Cass never thought it would happen to her, but now it seems she's forgetting everything--her alarm code, how to use her microwave and coffee machines and even large purchases. All of her problems seem to stem from the night she saw a women stopped on a deserted road. The next day, that woman was found murdered.

For me, this was not quite as successful as her prior novel, "Behind Closed Doors", but it was still an entertaining read. Even though it was not as twisty (if it had any at all) as most modern thrillers, it kept up the tension for the whole read. The peril of the main character was not as dire as "Behind Closed Doors," although like that one, the main character becomes the architect of her own solution, which is one thing I really admire in Paris's work.
