The Main Character: A Novel by Jaclyn Goldis
3.5
mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Typically twisting thriller. When you think the story is resolved there are still a few more twists in store. Solid writing, though a few out-of-character moments some further editing might have caught. 

I didn't find anybody particularly sympathetic, and I didn't see the twists coming. Slight homage to Agatha Christie, which is why I picked it up, but ultimately just unrealistic drama, which is what thrillers always seem like to me. 

If you like thrillers, especially ones that lack gore, rape, and "psychos," you'll probably like this one.
