This was NOT my favorite of Riley Sager's books but still an interesting and enthralling read. I was once again fooled into thinking I had solved it early on but was obviously wrong.
I'm just not a huge fan of the supernatural turn this one took. To me the human aspect is SO MUCH more creepy but I know that some people probably really liked this aspect.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Alcoholism, and Confinement
