This is a solid read. I was a little skeptical going in after a couple of busts in the thriller department. This has a little mystery, a lot of family drama, and the always present communication issues that drive the plot. It’s cozy and comfortable like a favorite sweater. Is it knocking down any doors? Probably not. But it’s a fast-paced read with likable characters that don’t make you cringe. Oh and one minor note, please do not make “concretize” or any of its derivatives a word. Ever.
