I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I love mystery books and this one was well written. Most times I can predict what will happen next and what the outcome will be but with this book, I was able to guess but I didn't get confirmation until almost the end. The suspense was excellent and that made the book even more worth while. 

The plot twist was 🤯. Just like the show, Manifest, it's all connected. 

The only thing we didn't find out was about Robert's wife. Remember when Gwen found out that one of her patients name was on the persons of interest list. I wouldn't be surprised if the patient did kill the wife. But wait.....Robert had a gun 👀 (he lowkey killed her).
Would've given a 5 if Natasha's death storyline was explored a bit more

This really was a good read.

I really enjoyed this thriller. I loved the twists and turns of all the characters and how it came back full circle.

I read this for Book Club. It was surprisingly good! I liked the premise of this suspenseful book. I wasn’t sure who the killer was, and I liked the unusual way the story wrapped up.

Overall a good read, but just lacked the overall suspense I was going for. But was well written. I liked the professional banter of the lawyer and psychiatrist. 

I liked the twist at the end, but it just fell a little flat
