To be honest, at first I could NOT get into this book, and almost DNF’d it, but my mom read it last year and encouraged me to keep going. And I’m so glad I did! This book ended up checking all the boxes for what I like in a thriller:
  • a moody and atmospheric setting
  • A sense of dread that keeps on building
  • Plot twists that keep you guessing
  • Audiobook narrated by the author
My only complaints were with the beginning and ending of the book, which both dragged on a bit and didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the mood of this book. But otherwise I would definitely recommend this one to add to your summer thriller list and I can’t wait to read more by Catherine Steadman!
