4.5/5 stars!
I will admit that Stacy Willingham might be becoming a new favorite author of mine!
I really thought I had this one figured out pretty early on and was curious to see how she was going to unravel the story. But then the unraveling started happening waaaaay too early in the story and I knew there was going to be a twist that I wasn’t expecting so I adjusted accordingly. And I was wrong again.
That’s what I look for in books like this and I love that her books have more of a fictionalized true crime vibe than the typical thriller does. Like these are things that could actually happen while a lot of thrillers have something about them that makes you think it probably wouldn’t happen in real life (even though I’m aware that people are nuts and you never know).
And props to her for not making the main character a drinker or on pills constantly. Yes she had other issues in the story but I felt like it didn’t make her as unsympathetic… maybe that’s just me though.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what else w comes up with!
