This book was such a let down. I loved gone girl and thought I’d be just satisfied with this one … I was wrong. I had already guessed the “twist” and who the murderer was so there was no surprise there and the reveal/end was so subpar. On top of that I couldn’t like or connect to a single character even Camille who we are meant to root for. A lacklustre whodunnit that uses vulgar and stomach churning imagery to try to cover up its flaws.
