Very atmospheric and keeps you guessing. Figured the who dunnit out before I'd have liked to and I'd have liked a little more from the ending but overall it was a great thriller with heavy topics dotted throughout.

This seemed very similar plot-wise to The Midnight Feast, which I read recently. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if there had been more time between my reading of the two books.

I really enjoyed this book. I predicted every twist because I am a life ruiner, but even though I knew what was coming, it was still a vivid story.
