Mystery/Crime is not my usual genre but I very much enjoyed this book. The writing and scene setting were excellent, I found it played out like a movie in my head. The overarching story held my interest and the characters of Cassie and Sam were quite sweet and interesting. I struggled to understand the main character (Rob/Adam) and his narration. He often frustrated me especially the way he dealt with women but that seemed to be intentional. This book is quite long but very readable, especially the last 150 pages! I’ve heard the second book is from Cassies perspective and that definitely intrigues me (I wouldn’t be enticed by another Rob focused book).
