This was a very solid Nicci French. I was a little disappointed by the last one I read of theirs', but this has restored my faith.
I really liked the premise of hearing from all three women, and seeing the pieces coming together through them.
I had figured out the various reveals before they fully unfolded, but only at the pace of the narrator, so I felt like I was figuring everything out with her, rather than being bored by things I already knew. The ending was also suspenseful and interesting enough that knowing these didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book.
In addition, the narration of the audio book was fantastic, and really added to the reading experience.
