I saw a review comparing this book a bit to a Jason Borne movie but I really got some James Patterson vibes with this one. It almost felt like reading one of his Private books mixed in with the more detective-y novels …
This isn’t a bad thing because I’ve always enjoyed a good James Patterson book but this didn’t feel like a true Ruth Ware book for me.
All in all it was still a very action packed and exciting book and I definitely enjoyed it! Jacintha “Jack” Cross was a strong MC who was definitely a bit of a badass for doing everything she did. It definitely wasn’t what I was expecting from a Ruth Ware book and I’m curious to see what she’s going to come up with next. I definitely prefer her more creepier more domestic books like Turn of the Key and The Death of Mrs Westaway, those are two of my favorites! This felt more spy thriller attempt than anything

Almost entirely action which was fun enough to keep me reading. Everything the MC encounters was basically a primer on how white womens privilege functions—but not at all intentionally lol.

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.
