I own a copy of this book, but decided to listen to it on audio as it was a short read. I was intrigued by the fact that a true crime podcaster had written a book as I love anything true crime and really like thriller books. Unfortunately, this book just didn’t hit the mark for me. I found myself getting whiplash throughout as the storyline bounced around a lot. I also found myself wanting more character development. I did give it 3 stars because I’m interested enough in the story to read the next one that is soon to come out, but doubt that I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good thriller book.

This was pretty damn solid. Probably a 4.5-5 star if it was more tied up.
