What a twist

Loved this book! Started off pretty slow but then it just got so exciting that I could not stop gasping at the twists and turns it kept revealing!

I did not see that twist coming!

I best part about the book is the twist.
A little predictable in places but overall very nicely done. Well worth the read.

A little slow but better once into the meat of it.

This was my second Riley Sager (first was Lock Every Door) and second read by Stephanie Cannon, whose voice I'm not a huge fan of. I get using the same narrator for the same author, however it was a little overdone when you listen to one after the other and the female characters all sound exactly the same across the board. Her male voices were a little too forced and creepy.

I found the storyline a bit slow to start and at one point I thought the story was going down a very similar pathway to Lock Every Door, which doesn't motivate me to read more Riley Sager, however when the twists began to unfold a little more thoroughly it was clear the story stands alone.

I found the constant mention of drinking annoying, making the main character harder to relate to. Like a third of the story was her telling you she was having "another Bourbon, a shot of vodka, some wine, gulping down some more Bourbon". I don't care. Get on with the story and spare us all the repetitive nonsense, we get it.

I did enjoy the twist but also found it a bit weird and perhaps not very well orchestrated - as well as it could be. I get that that's part of the mystery but without giving any plot points away, it lacked depth that could have been worked on throughout the story more. I suppose this was to prevent the reader/listener from figuring things out too quickly but it left the story somewhat shallow.

I also find the author goes into a bit of unnecessary detail when she's describing things. Like, she'll be touching a handle and a lot of explanation goes into it despite it being unnecessary to the storyline to go into such detail. I found myself losing interest until it started to get closer to the end.

Didn’t enjoy the twist

The twist was Far fetched and unbelievable. Good until that point. Writing was good though.

I’m so glad I read this despite some of the reviews

Honestly I almost gave it a miss after seeing someone on here rate it 1 star. I’m a picky reader, so I saw it and thought “nope, won’t be for me..” how wrong was I!?
This was an exciting thriller with lots of twists, and I loved the setting/ambience of the place, too.
I hate to think I almost passed up the experience of this audiobook!
Loved it.

A dreadful book

I’m not sure why I lasted to the final hour but have to stop. This is stupid. Badly written and as for the lead character going on and on about her desire for drinking.
I would suggest you find something more interesting and better written to read.
Yuck. Load of rubbish.
