I really enjoyed this one! I loved how fast paced it was, but yet still covered so much. I really didn’t see the BH Killer reveal coming, although once I knew who it was, it made sense. It was such a great thriller!

I didn’t expect much going into this so my expectations were exceeded. It’s a gripping story, the perfect length, but I didn’t connect with it as much as I would have wanted to, pushing through a slump as I was.
