4.0

This one was a thrilling read. It has twists and turns, threats and that continuous questioning of "Can I trust the clues in front of me?" that makes for an engaging read. While some of the actions the main character takes, feel a little unrealistic, they really work to build a narrative in which it is never quite clear who is responsible for Andie's disappearance. The last 50 pages or so feel a little rushed, but that being said, the rest of the novel is well paced. I like that no character is perfect and there's some banter to brighten up the darkness of the story at the right moments. Definitely recommend reading if you like a thriller!
