I really liked the premise here, a mother wonders if her son could possibly be a killer, could you even imagine? 😮 A parent always wants to take the side of their child but what if their side is the wrong side? What if they are capable of violence? Such interesting questions and I definitely felt compassion for Valerie as she struggled with this as well as her own memory issues. I found this to be a slow burn, there ended up being some pretty decent twists but the path to get there took quite a while for me. I think the authors previous books have been more my speed, more pacey and bingeable for sure. Overall this was enjoyable enough for me just not my fave of hers.
