Everyone believes that Lenora Hope is a mass murderer. The Hope family was killed many, many years ago. She was the only one left after that tragic night. Lenora is mute, paralysed, and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora has never told tell her side of the story, that is until her new live-in caregiver Kit brings her a typewriter And with one working finger, Lenora begins to type: I want to tell you everything.

This was amazing, 5 stars! This starts a little slower than Sagers other novels, but there is enough entrigue and mystery to keep you turning the page to find out what happened. Sager also created a really good atmosphere. This has so many twists and turns, and once they start to be relieved, they just do not stop, so be prepared to stay awake to finish that last 30%. 

Thank you to Netgalley, Hodder and Stoughton, and Riley Sager for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
