good book to listen to. lots of POVs. Fits it genre archetypes of thriller with rich guy with a sordid past and conveniently all the threads of his misdoings line up in one place and one time with everyone he's wronged seeking revenge. Not amazing, but not bad. Some storylines definitely could've been better developed and seemed like they were just kinda thrown in randomly to act as a 'ah-ha' reveal, but weren't actually thought out at all, so some of the later story-tellinh felt lazy and rushed. But overall decent. Didn't get invested in the characters at all though.
