I couldn’t put this book down for the first 200ish pages. The last third of the book slowed down for me. I predicted the twist fairly early on but my prediction changed as different characters looked suspicious at different times. Ultimately, a solid read.

With the unreliable narrator and excellent storytelling, I raced through this novel.  The author kept me engaged with the twists, and I didn't realize the ending until she told me.   I bet this would be great on audio, too.

This was a pretty solid read but as far as thrillers go it didn't really wow me. However, I liked the podcast element and how it sounded on the audiobook and I thought the narrators did a good job not only with the story but with the other character voices as well. It was engaging to listen to that way and I think I enjoyed this more on audio than I would have physically.
