Having a hard time trying to decide what to rate this one… I loved the beginning. It definitely sucked me in and I read it quickly, but it seemed too obvious who was behind the murder and got too repetitive. Still enjoyed it overall, so I guesssss 4 stars.

I've always found Ruth Ware books, narrated by Imogen Church, to be fairly solid. That's why I keep listening to them. This was an epic miss on every level, starting with the boring, predictable plot. You could probably turn it into a drinking game though: every time the main character mentions how hot or cold she is, you drink. You would die of alcohol poisoning, which seems preferable to reading this book. I also have a very hard time with obnoxious voices whilst audiobooking and this one put me over the edge. Huge miss from an author a generally like.

Jack and her husband are "pen testers" meaning they are hired by companies to break into their offices to give them a report of their security weaknesses. During one assignment jack comes home to her husband with his throat slit. She initially works with the police but when she feels she is a suspect she breaks out of the police station and is on the run trying to figure out the murder herself. The conclusion felt underwhelming and I kept waiting for a twist but everything felt quite obvious. Ended up being her husbands best friend , cole, because Gabe had discovered some security issues with his apps and Cole didn't want the information to be public so he had him killed. One of those books where I wanted to shake the maim character the whole time for her stupid decisions.
