4.0
Very tense read, with a classic Riley Sager plot twist ending. I found it pretty funny that at least 4 characters in this book were called some form of the name Rick (but yeah 2 of them end up being the same person). I was really convinced the detective Richard would end up being Ricardo Mayhew.
