My first Helen Cooper novel. I enjoyed it. Cooper made sure that I was constantly wondering what would happen next. For once the police aren't useless in a thriller.
I did not see some of the pieces coming together until almost the end. Which is how a thriller should be in my opinion. Keeping the reader on their toes.
It's hard to explain all of the character's personalities and morals. There wasn't a specific character that stood out. Mild swearing and mild sexual content.
