This was an amazing story that had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Kept me in my toes right up till the very end. I watched the movie years ago but didn’t remember much. It also should be mentioned that the narrator of the audiobook was absolutely phenomenal. I will definitely be seeking out more books he’s narrated just to hear him again.
