A lot of unnecessary scene setting - clothes descriptions, random gestures, etc - and not enough character depth. Story lines fell flat, and as an avid reader of this genre, I pinned the killer by the middle of the book. The ending was a bit too well packaged for me as well - I could have dealt without the last few chapters entirely.
The story was fun, fast paced and thrilling - I listened to the audio book and loved it. I would recommend to folks new to the genre with a big ol trigger warning attached.

Sure, it was a sort of interesting twist, but it did not wow me or feel neatly tied in a bow.
The antagonists felt a little clichè and I did not feel much towards them.
An easy read, but not one with that much substance. Glad to have read, but I probably won't think about it again...
