I listened to the audiobook on Spotify as I was traveling and this kept my mind pretty occupied for the entirety of it! It did start off quite slow, as in, 'is the thriller in the room with us? She's nowhere to be found right now.' I also thought the premise gave away so much and led you to believe certain things about the killer's identity, that it contributed to me being underwhelmed with the first 50% of the book.
HOWEVER, the ending of this really saved this book for me. I gotta say ... I was not expecting that, and Frieda babe, you got me. What a delightful and exciting twist that was!
I didn't really enjoy The Locked Door (2021), which had corny dialogue and represented the Bay Area so poorly & disrespectfully lmao, BUT this was a much more compelling (&redeeming) read. I enjoyed the flashbacks and how they eventually revealed so much and contributed to the final reveal.
I will continue to sift through FM's backlist!

I think the characters are interesting enough, but the ‘villain’ made no sense and was somewhat unbelievable. The ending too was just kind of awful. I think it sets up a second book well. Part of my dislike was because the characters weren’t fleshed out well, so their chemistry is somewhat unbelievable.

Fast, captivating listen! I did kind of predict how it would end, but as always, Freida McFadden has a way of keeping you guessing the entire book.
