This book was hard to put down. Just when you thought you knew how things were going to turn out, they turned, and then they turned again. I appreciated the different voices, and they worked quite well for an audiobook.

Most of the book is a slow burn mystery, feeding you little bits of evidence and information. However, the last two or three chapters completely undoes the rest of the book, and while it was an unpredictable ending, it felt rushed.

Was I on the edge of my seat for some of this? Yes. 
Was it good? No. 
Was there unnecessary and detailed medical trauma sprinkled in that in no way contributed to the story? Yes. 
Would I recommend this? No.

I enjoyed every moment of this... right up until I didn't.  I struggled with the plot holes and how unbelievable the big twist was. The ending I made up in my head was better than the one we were given. 

Fun read, but don't expect too much.

I really enjoyed it. It was mysterious and intense. I loved how many medical references they did. All the characters in it were wonderful. It gave me major flashbacks to covid times.
