This is just a run of the mill, predictable thriller with so-so writing. I figured out the bulk of the twist about a quarter in and the other part of the twist was based on things the author didn’t really give you a way to know.
Graphic: Murder, Gun violence, Child abuse, Domestic abuse, Death of parent, Child death, Physical abuse, and Death
Moderate: Sexual violence and Sexual assault
