Solid thriller, but nothing fancy.
I wouldn’t classify myself as a thriller reader, but this was definitely a nice, fast read. I thought the characters felt real enough, and the pacing was good. I appreciated it wasn’t a standard dual timeline, and I did kind of like the podcast/Netflix angle.
There just wasn’t much in terms of twists. One sad reveal, but otherwise everything was laid out pretty basically. Great if you just want something pulpy and a little bit juicy.
