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
