4.5 stars.

This was my first Riley Sager read and I have to say that I really enjoyed myself. I'm a sucker for a gothic novel and this one had a great atmosphere with lots of creepy vibes and great gothic nods. Something about the characters also made things read a little like Clue, which I found entertaining.

I will admit that sometimes Jules felt unrealistic, but I really didn't care because I was having so much fun with the writing and the action. There are a couple of good twists and, while I sort of figured out the villain early on, I was still surprised by a few of the concluding pieces. It was a quick and gripping read and I didn't want to put it down. All in all, I just had a great time.
