A Solid, Entertaining Thriller

The story starts off a bit slowly, mainly because there are quite a few characters to keep track of. It took me some time to connect all the families together, which made the beginning feel a little sluggish. However, once the investigation started the pace really picked up.

While I figured out the perpetrator and their motives early on, I still thoroughly enjoyed uncovering all the finer details and watching how the plot unfolded. Something happened towards the end that genuinely caught me off guard which I always love.

It was great to see Agent Sarah Keller return and I enjoyed the narration by Brittany Pressley. While this may not be my favorite Finlay thriller or the most standout of the genre, it was still a quick, entertaining read that hit the spot. I hope Finlay continues to write more stories featuring Keller.
