There was definitely more to the book than I expected.  Good story, although it seemed maybe a little rushed?  I feel like the author could have made it so much better with a little more something, maybe added to the list of characters or plot? 
I think the whole thing with Laurens daughter, the smiling lady, and the ex's grandmother being the one to take her was an easy way to wrap up that story end.  And then, was Millie in on it?  She randomly went to school with the girl that was murdered but Seth randomly picked Millie's boss (who she had an affair with) as his first murder victim? It's like the author started with one ending in mind and changed it half way through.  & How did Seth get into Millie's house without being on camera? 
I also would have liked to see Tom's character have developed a little more. Maybe be involved in getting Seth psychiatric help.
