Honestly I love Paula Hawkins ! Her books are beautifully written. 
After reading girl on the train I was a bit worried to start another of her book not wanting to be disappointed.. and I wasn’t. It’s a brilliant psychological suspense novel and I can only advise you to read it. 

I am rarely able to read book with
rape
warning, but with her writing I could. 

I truly loved the idea behind those stories
"a place to get rid of troublesome women"
. She push us to question about gender dynamic, bond between family members, morally grey characters,… 

I thought the switch between each pov was well done, it was captivating and very interesting to hear all those voices. 

And yes there are unloveable characters but that’s what makes it interesting and honest. 

Paula Hawkins is truly brilliant
