I picked this one up on a whim while it was on sale. I'm always up for a thriller, especially one that doesn't break the bank. Man, I am glad I did!
I'm not saying this one is the best thriller/mystery I've read. I will be honest, it's not close. But this one is fairly good. It moved at a nice pace. I finished it quite quickly. It's intriguing, and the author plants enough seeds in your head to keep you going until the end.
There were a couple very small plot holes that left me scratching my head after I finished the book. I didn't notice all of them right away, but once I finished reading the book and thought back on it, there were some things that made no sense. They didn't really effect how the book read while I was reading it.
The characters were okay. I didn't dislike them. They could've used a little more development, but overall, they played their part in this story fairly well. I definitely wasn't disappointed.
Overall, this is a pretty good book. If you're looking for a little mystery that won't take you a million years to read, this one is for you.

I adore Catherine Ryan Howard's writing style, rarely do I read one of her books in more than one sitting and this was no different. I really enjoyed the story but I wish it had a bit more umph to it like The Trap or The Nothing Man. I predicted the twist but it was still disguised well and didn't spoil my enjoyment of the book. Really gripping and had some good commentary on women's safety.

🎧 Really enjoyed this one. It was a fast paced, easy listen that kept me engaged. Loved how the storyline flipped from past to present an it really built the backstory. Its storyline is told from mainly Alison’s point of view with the odd exception here and there. It’s a well developed storyline with well developed likeable and unlikeable characters. There was some aspects that raised some questions but it didn’t take from the overall experience. The narrator did a great job. Catherine Ryan Howard sure knows how to weave an intriguing story that keeps you guessing.
