Even with figuring out "who dun it," I still raced through this thriller. I tried listening to this on audio, but with characters named Jenna and Joey, I couldn't follow it. It was much easier to read in print.

I really enjoyed how the story was paced, I'm mostly used to novels where a crime is committed very early whereas in this case you stay in the dark until the very end.
I can't help but highlight how great the author was at playing hints throughout the whole thing, all the pieces are given to you at just the right intervals to make connections less obvious.
Additionally I was pleasantly surprised at the very prominent place "gang-stalking" took in the plot, it's definitely not a theme that is often referenced in popular culture.
