Another that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Finished the book within 8hrs. I NEEDED to know what happened next after each chapter. Google told me they plan to adapt the book into a show series on Peacock. Can’t wait to see how they compare and would hope it stays true to the book as much as possible.

This was a thoroughly engaging thriller that touched on ridiculous a few times but not so much that it made me roll my eyes... too much. Instead, I had a great time reading it. I very much liked the story told from different perspectives.
