3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book, but I am also glad that I read Riley Sager's other books first, because I can see his growth as an author very clearly. Where I felt compelled to read The Last Time I Lied and Lock Every Door in one sitting, this just wasn't one I felt that way about. I think it was more difficult to read. Not that it's bad, far from it. But it was difficult to read about Quincy. She was so self-destructive that I had a hard time rooting for her at any point in the book. In all honesty, there's not much redeeming about her at all.

That said, I still really enjoy his books. In none of them have I figured out the truth of the situation before the end, and even if I've gotten little bits figured out it always plays out in a way I wasn't expecting, which isn't something I can say about many suspense thrillers. Also, I can look back and see the threads that led us to that ending. I can't stand when I'm reading a thriller and the twist comes and it's something completely outlandish that wouldn't stand up to a re-read.

I'm really excited to read whatever he comes out with next.
