Loved this! I came to this novel not knowing the author at all. It seems to me alot of readers didn't like the story because they don't like the author. I thought it was awesome, a real page-turner, hard to put down. Great character development and I loved how it twisted and turned, making me think this person was the murderer, then, no, it must be that person, then no again. I loved the ending, too. Not every story has to be neatly wrapped up. It's delicious not having a tidy ending. The ending is menacingly perfect. Reminded me of the first Law & Order: SVU episode I ever watched - we didn't find out the verdict. I screamed at my TV. Delicious, agonizing, perfection. What our brains can imagine is sometimes better than someone else telling us what happened. For certain, I'll be thinking about this story for a long time, and watching for another book by this author.… (mehr)

I enjoyed this read and found myself pulled through this book following the two timelines the book was told in. I enjoyed this narrative structure and felt it really worked to bring the True Crime feeling to this book. The authors experience as a podcaster really lent this an original feel and created a wonderful tension to this book because both Krissy and Martin's stories were real and I felt part of this story. There were many twists and turns that kept me guessing and then second guessing and even even triple guessing my pick for who dun it. This was a beautifully written book told with great voice and style. The only drawback for me, and whay ultimately made this a four star book for me was the ending. Although the mystery was wrapped up and there was a conclusion, I wanted more of a wrap up for the characters I had grown to care about. This is a great book club read and will spark some great discussions and debate before The Big Reveal.… (mehr)
