 Overall, I'd call this the solid, four star read I've come to expect from the author. I bumped it up a little because the reveal at the end, while disturbing, was also so perfectly human it drove home the accuracy of the 'humanness' in the rest of the story. One thing I also really appreciated about this story particularly is that while many characters (of necessity for a thriller) had their little secrets, most were simply about hiding small weaknesses and again, very *human* moments, not the kind that left me hating all the characters.
