A solid thriller, manages to bring something fresh to the genre, and not feel “tropey”. I also liked how the violence towards women was never a main part of the book, unlike with some thrillers that often have a lot of gory detail. 

Great twists and a good page turner. Definitely recommend for fans of the genre.
