This book was a really good read, however, I wasn't crazy about the ending. I might look into reading more of this authors work though, liked the writing.

I mean this was fine. It was kind of slow and boring. Most of it I did see coming except one thing, but at that point I was just like whatever about the story. I also hate how we can’t have just a happy couple to be honest like the affair did not even make sense. Honestly I would probably skip this one.

I was really excited to read this when I hear it came out. I completely adored "Local Woman Missing" by this author so I was really ecstatic about her new release. Sadly, this book fell short for me. I wasn't on the edge of my seat at all for the plot.

They already set up the fact that Lily killed Jake so there was no mystery element to this book until towards the end when he find out that he was killed by a gun.

. The ending was pretty abrupt too. And some parts were left for inference when we could've just been told what happened. It didn't need to be as ambiguous as it was. Also didn't find the "twist" all that exciting or surprising either. It was one of my predictions. I remember reading a similar twist in one of Alice Feeny's books. Nothing came as a surprised to me which was similar to when I was reading "Local Woman Missing". However with that book I felt like there were more twists and turns and emotions involved which is why I loved it because although it was simple crazy things still happened and I really felt for the characters. I just didn't really feel connected to the characters in this one. Although this book was a letdown it wasn't terrible by any means. It was a decent book but I'd categorize as more of a mystery than a thriller because I didn't really find anything "thrilling" about this book. Oh and also the prologue is so useless. Like it literally had nothing to do with the book. I had an okay time but it's not something I'd ever pick back up again.
