Even though I enjoyed this it didn't wow me. Part of me thinks it might have been better as a duel timeline. Where we get flashbacks to the lead up to the incident to add more suspense.
 Instead we got 90% of build to an incident we don't really have any details about. Then the aftermath was so short I felt like I was missing part of the book.
 We go from a chapter of police asking questions then the very next chapter the trail is done and everything has moved on. We are missing so much information from between the questioning and trial. It felt unfinished.
 The characters were unlikeable and slightly annoying that I didn't really care who was involved.

It felt obvious Paige wasn't who she said she was with how she was behaving at times. Things she was saying didn't make sense. 

I just found myself wanting the book to get to the incident already. Then when it did it just ended. 

I was in and out of this. Part one I liked but was kind of bored. Part two gripped me. I got lost in that part. Then part three I went back to how I did in part one. 
I can't really put my finger on what it was about those parts. Maybe it was some of the POVs. Geoffrey for example did nothing for me. Some side storylines felt irrelevant and took me out of the story a little. 
Part one and three lacked the excitement and intrigue that part two did. Part two felt so much darker and more intense. 
The twists, especially the who done it, felt predictable. It played part in taking out the excitement intrigue from the story as a whole. 
I listened to the audiobook and had no issue just listening despite it feelings a little dragging at time.
