Loved this! Couldn't wait to see how it would all unravel. I really enjoyed seeing how all the different character perspectives were gradually woven together but it also didn't give everything away trusting you as the reader to find the links and piece it all together.

Very underwhelming; a ridiculously long-winded way of saying that people have secrets. I did enjoy the scenery descriptions, but with the plot progressing so slowly, it was hard to feel their impact. The audiobook was incredibly well narrated!
