I enjoyed this gritty thriller.  It's great to see a heroine who is very capable of solving her own problems, including being suspected of the murder of her husband.

Ruth Ware is one of my go-to thriller authors, but this was not among my favorite works of hers. Some interesting and unique elements throughout that made this an overall interesting read, but it was bogged down by overwriting, some overused tropes, and one-dimensional characters. Pacing varies wildly, as there were portions of the first half that had me thinking this would end up a DNF. But when it ramps up, it really really does, and those bits ultimately kept me hooked!

Verdict: Worth a read. Stick with it if you like fast-paced thrillers!
