Riley Sager is one of my favorite authors and it’s rare that he gives me a dud. This isn’t a favorite of mine but it isn’t the worst I’ve read either. It’s solid, but idk I expected more than I got - some of that was falling victim to early reviews because I certainly didn’t get what they did out of it but that’s okay. 

The premise of a crumbling house on a cliff is everything honestly. It’s just how everything unfolded wasn’t my favorite. It had its moments but overall just not my favorite book.
