Amazinggg. The plot and the writing and the characters are so well developed and everything seems to jump off the page. The audiobook narration is excellent. If you are looking for a thriller but one with a lot of depth this is an excellent choice. If you aren’t a fan of books involving cults I think it’s still worth giving this a try - without giving away any spoilers, the cult aspect isn’t quite as it seems. More conman-woman type.
