I am a HUGE Sager fan, and that’s saying something because I don’t have many male authors on my shelf.

So what did I like about this book?

This book was cool in that it made me feel like I was watching a noir style film. 

There was an unreliable narrator, and while I feel like that trope has been played out a lot, Sager is able to keep it fresh with a spin I haven’t seen before.

This thriller pulls you in from the first page and then keeps you hooked for the whole ride.

The novel was fast paced, but didn’t seem rushed, kept me guessing and I loved every second. I mean, I read it in a day.

If you’re looking for a thriller with twists and turns that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a noir thriller film? I would definitely check this out!
