This did not hit like a Riley Sager book. I know a lot of people have been complaining about the decline in his writing the last few years but I actually really enjoyed Only One Left. This on the other hand was very meh.
I liked the idea of making a setting that is stereotypically seen as safe and secure, and flipping it on it's head, but I don't necessarily think this was well done. The conclusion was extremely disappointing and anti-climatic, and the characters are all extremely insufferable. A forgettable one, for sure.
