I really liked the pacing and found it difficult to put down, so overall, I did enjoy my read. What I didn't like was that the twists and overall plot were just too... incredulous and required too many characters being stupid and gullible, from the reason for the marriage breakdown to

Olivia being a coward for 20 years when she wasn't even the murderer to begin with and even after Justin had nothing left to threaten her with.
