This was an amazing mystery/thriller. I was hooked from the very beginning and was wondering what happened to Delilah, Shelby, and Meredith the entire time. I never saw it coming! I recommend to anyone who likes mysteries or thrillers!!

As a relatively new mystery/thriller reader, I absolutely adored this book. Mary Kubica did an OUTSTANDING job of employing the use of red herrings, misdirection and minute details to create this entrancing novel! I do feel the pacing was a bit off however I found myself thoroughly fulfilled yet surprised by the ending! The bar truly has been set high for my future thriller reads!
