Engaging but fairly predictable. I had the central culprit narrowed down to two possibilities at the midway point, and it turned out that one of my guesses was accurate. There were a few twists and turns that I couldn't unravel quite as neatly, so that kept me reading. Overall, though, a very average mystery.

So you basically have read this story before if you are a thriller reader BUT even though I figured out what was going on early on I still enjoyed the ride. I enjoyed this sister side of the story.

Kept me reading but not too much investigation going on. Disappointed.

I don't get the glowing reviews for this at all. It was not thrilling, not all that mysterious, not even that enjoyable to read. There isn't a single character I liked and several of them I actually actively dislike, especially Greer, the missing woman's sister and one of the main characters. She is so obnoxious and difficult that at one point one of the other characters actually (understandably) yells at her to stop being such a bitch. Every other chapter was from her POV, which was tedious and frankly annoying. The alternating chapters, told by Meredith as it counted down from her marriage to her disappearance, weren't much better. Meredith is young, immature, naive, and fickle. It's so hard to feel sympathy for her whining about her boring privileged life in her mansion - maybe if she had waited longer than 6 months after meeting Andrew to marry him, she would have had time to really think through what her life was going to look like. Andrew also doesn't seem like much of a catch anyway, aside from being rich AF, and we're told that they are soooo in love but never actually shown that. The only redeeming thing about this book is that it's short and fast to read, so I didn't waste too much of my life on it.

For a book deemed a thriller it really wasn’t thrilling until the last few chapters. The plot was relatively predictable, but still enjoyable none the less.

Great mystery
This book had me confused as to how did it for a long time. But then after I knew it became a little boring. It drug on a little during the time they were looking for Meredith. But I enjoyed the flipping of time lines between her and her sister.
