Riley Sager is dependably good when it comes to thrillers! I had so many sticky notes marking clues and theories written down while reading this book and that made it even more enjoyable to read. This is a fast-paced read that will keep you turning those pages and keep your mind working. The setting is also really fun to sink into - you really get to know the house, room by room, as well as the people who inhabit it. Sager does a great job of both dropping hints and leaving you red herrings so you might think you know what's coming, but there are almost definitely a few surprises in store. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a good thriller!
