This is an interesting enough plot, but the ending is a bit predictable. I figured out who the bad guy was about halfway through the book.

Gosh, I love a thriller -- and bonus points to this one for the meta factor. None of it was particularly surprising, but Korelitz's writing is so captivating that I didn't really care. And for those that have read it too,

the ending had me think of "Only Murders in the Building"
