This took me a little while because I was in a reading slump, but eventually I hit the point where the writing and characters were just SO compelling that I couldn’t put it down. Deftly jumps between time periods and narrators in a way that's easy to follow. The plot is woven intricately and it all comes together in a satisfying way at the end. I would read a sequel!!

This is how a thriller should be written! I loved the plot and how neatly the loose ends were wrapped up.

As a piece of entertainment, it was a page-turner. However, it's not something that will stick with me at all. Not enough to deserve 4 stars, at least.
