And then the lights go out...

I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters are very dynamic and it takes the entire story to figure out exactly who they all are and why they do the things they do in a very compelling way. I enjoyed the mystery of the story and the pieces that all fit together nicely at the end. Great story

Haven’t been surprised by a thriller in a while and this one delivers. So twisty!

nikkilpzs's review against another edition

2.0

2.25 star rating. i did read it in two days (via audiobook, which I recommend because it’s easier to set the voices apart) and it’s very atmospheric but, it just fell flat for me overall and I wouldn’t have considered it a whodunit.


EDIT; I felt unsettled with my 3 star review. I came back and lowered it because I just didn’t like this book that much. Very predictable, not a satisfying payoff all things considered.
