I assumed Casey was in her fifties/sixties and was always surprised when it was mentioned that she was in her mid-thirties. 
whoever decided on this narrator for the story didn't do their job. 

I felt the tension throughout the story and wanted to know what is going on and how the mystery will be resolved until about the 80 % mark. that's when the story took a turn and it got ridiculous and I just wanted it to be over. 

this was my first Riley Sager thriller and I was very disappointed.
