This was a solid thriller! I listened to it on audio, and I loved how the narrator brought each character to life, especially across multiple accents (mainly British, so that’s fun). 

The dark academia setting was great. The main success here is the author convincing me that multiple different characters were actually guilty. The end was QUITE the trip.

I wish I was more connected to the main characters, especially Hannah. It did drag some and I don’t think it needed to be quite so long. But all in all this was atmospheric and really kept me guessing/surprised.
