It's another great Kara Thomas thriller that kept me guessing and almost made me cry. This was my first of her adult thrillers and it was just as good as her YA ones. I think it was a bit darker and grittier but that's to be expected with the different age category I think.
The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the story to life and giving the characters different voices without being over-the-top and comical. Which wouldn't be appropriate for this subject matter.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I guessed part of the mystery but not all of it and not in quite the right direction either.
