A solid psychological thriller with an intriguing plot that kept me guessing until the end. The murder mystery element was well done and full of mind-bending twists. However, the characters were all so unlikeable that it made the story feel heavier and more unpleasant than it needed to be. Despite that, the suspense and clever reveals made it a worthwhile read.
