In Freida McFadden style, this was a page turner and I basically read it in one sitting. It was fast paced with lots of twists and turns. I do enjoy the sort of locked room trope in thrillers, and liked the concept of the book, but felt like there wasn’t a ton that happened in the middle of the book. The stakes were still high, but it slowed down a bit. Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it for a quick thriller!
