Peter Swanson is one of my absolute favorite authors and I was so excited for this book to come out. Sadly this one just didn't do it for me. I think my expectations for this were just off because of what I'm used to from his books. The pacing of his books is what I think makes them so exciting, even when I've figured everything out, he's great at building up the suspense. I just felt like this one focused almost solely on the relationships between the characters (which is not a problem, I was just prepared for a thriller!). The problem I did have was

Spoiler

that almost every character in the book was involved in relations with someone of a significant age difference. Since it was practically everyone, it came off as gimmicky.

I wasn't really bothered by the big age difference as I know some reviewers have been, it was more-so it being the main focus of the novel. If you like slow burning books that focus more on the character than the action, this will definitely be a good one for you!
