been a longtime fan of the author, she has written some of my favorite bat shit crazy thrillers so I knew I was going to be in for a wild ride here. I just wasn’t prepared for how bananas and off the rails things would get in the end and I can’t say I was a fan. There was a lot to like here though, you have a strong opening that hooked me and at first the timeline switches made sense for me. You also have a great setting with a remote island housing an institute for the criminally insane, that was actually probably the strongest aspect for me, so creepy and atmospheric. Where things went too far for me was in the very last bit, way too over dramatic and unbelievable in the vein of a bad soap opera. I just couldn’t get past the big twist, it just read as silly. Like I said before though I’m a huge fan of the author so I absolutely will read her again this was just a bit of a miss for me.
