My daughter saw this in a bookstore so we checked it out from the library. She is the one who wanted to read it but hadn't, so I thought I would.
It was ok. It was enough to keep me reading - it built up my curiosity for the ending. There was an unexpected twist at the end that left me feeling a little disappointed. Not that she didn't write it well, I think I just had a certain ending in my mind and when it didn't play out, I felt disheartened. I don't like how she made the main character out to be.
The author has a slight Mary Higgins Clark style about how she writes, which was good. I didn't care for her use of the F-bomb but she at least kept it clean. She did manage to weave a story with pieces of a puzzle that I had to see completed, so I'll give her that, too.
I guess I just didn't like the ending. I didn't care for the twist.
If you like thrillers, this is a decent read. I just don't like the feeling of disappointment it left me with. It also had me realize I prefer something a bit more uplifting, I think.
Oh, well... on to the next!
