Out of the 5 Riley Sager books I've read, this one was probably the most well-written in terms of the plot. The dark and eerie atmosphere, the twists and turns, and the reveals of it all were effectively structured. 

But I think this may be the last Riley Sager book I pick up. While the plots of his books are great, something that constantly takes away from the story is his female main characters. You can just tell they were written by a man, if you get what I mean. I'm not sure how to explain it but it really feels that way.

The FMC's train of thought is often insufferable or frustrating to read. I'm noticing a pattern where they're always in an unfortunate situation but somehow still stuck-up. They just don't think/act like real women? Or rather, they think/act like the mean girls in high school despite being fully grown women. It makes it very hard for me to sympathize with the tragedies/terrible conflicts they encounter in the course of the books. 

I think the only book where both the plot was good and the FMC wasn't annoying was Lock Every Door. The other 4 books had me gritting my teeth at the way their brains worked. 

While I thoroughly enjoyed the setting and plot twists in this book, again, Kit's thoughts and behavior just had me flabbergasted and that sadly really took away from my enjoying the story. 

Cheers, Mr Sager but alas, I shall wish you all the best for your future books as I bid you adieu.
