A well done thriller, with a great reveal and satisfying ending. The author did a great job keeping readers in suspense, letting us into each character's minds seeing their suspicions, emotions, and actions. I could never tell who was telling the truth or lying, and was constantly switching between who I thought the suspect was.
It gets into the action/plot quickly and I read through the book in one sitting! Though perhaps a bit unrealistic, I don’t think it’s terribly far-fetched and the pacing, writing, and organization was all impeccably done in my opinion.
