3.0

I definitely prefer Clarke’s thrillers. The twists and turns just don’t work as well in a book ostensibly about a suicide. Some of the plot was a bit heavy handed, and the fiancé character didn’t feel fully rounded. I never fully understood some of Mia’s self destructive tendencies either. Good concept for a book, engaging, but wish it had been executed better.
