When I started this book, I was hooked. I wanted to keep reading and find out what had happened.
Unfortunately, the pacing on this book didn't support my continued interest. The tension broke far too early, leaving the resolution a bit of a let down. By the time the "big reveal" (which I had predicted near the beginning of the book) finally happened, it felt like an afterthought.
That being said, I did still enjoy the book and if you aren't particular about pacing in thrillers then it may be a great option.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC!
