TRIGGER WARNING
This is a fast pace high stakes thriller that takes the reader through two different cases.
One of the unique aspects of this book was the podcast element/chapters. I had checked out the audiobook out on Libby and strictly listened to the audiobook for the podcast chapters. For me, that enriched the book and made the book more unique.
This book does delve into heavy topics (assault, slut shaming etc) that if you aren’t prepared or you go into this book blind can surprise you about how graphic the book talked about these subjects.
Overall, this was an good thriller that showed two different cases and their parallels.
