A slow to start but ultimately gripping thriller

Without any spoilers though, I have to admit the ending was disappointing. Lots of build up and suspense that didn’t work out in a way I wanted it. Maybe my expectations for a dramatic conclusion are too high but the author built it up significantly only to putter out. But I see the symbolism she was trying to achieve and overall this book was really engaging and the writing was atmospheric (mostly, sometimes I was a bit verbose). 

Book three in my goal of prioritizing Canadian authors for 2025.
