I found this book a little clunky and hard to follow. every time I felt like it was going somewhere, it would switch to a different character. I kept waiting to get more details, but that didn't really happen until the very end. I did feel myself spacing out and rereading parts, but then I was glued to the last 15% of the book. It was an easy thriller listen, but I didn't feel a ton of connection with the characters and plot. there could have been more twists, but it felt somewhat predictable.

thanks Netgalley for the ARC listen.

This was a really enjoyable listen! I would say you might have to suspend some realism, especially for the ending. But it was short and a good book.
