Fast paced, but the characters were hard to connect with and the ending was not believable.

A pretty good murder mystery that starts with a list of nine names. The people that receive the list only recognise one name: their own. I can't say that there was a huge amount of mystery to this story and I did work out most of it before the reveal. There were a few hidden details though and it was a good enough read.

I like me a thriller and Peter Swanson has proven a good author for this genre. 

I enjoyed trying to demystify why there were nine names on the list and why their lives were in danger. There were nice twists and turns but the one at the very end was my favourite. 

At some point I was able to figure out what was happening which was a bit disappointing plus listening to this on audio, might have been a disadvantage because there are times it didn't hook me as I thought it would and I found my mind wondering. 

Be that as it may, I would recommend Peter Swanson and his books.
