An enjoyable thriller, that despite being predictable, remained an engaging read.
Whilst none of the characters are lovable in the traditional sense they are well explored which adds depth to the story.
The ending is what both Laurel and Poppy deserved but I couldn't help feeling some sympathy for Floyd. A good entry thriller, but if you enjoy shocking twists and turns maybe give this one a miss.
