I really enjoyed the way this book had flashes between time periods. It gave way to predictions and character interactions that fueled the page-turning thriller. Was the ending predictable? In a way… but the author did a wonderful job detailing minor intricacies that couldn’t be seen from a mile away. The slow burn of the character development was encapsulating and the wrap up of each individual story was devastating, dynamic, and intentional. I absolutely loved this book!
