Rating: 2.5 stars

Format: Audiobook

Genre: Thriller

As someone who rarely reads thrillers, it really says something when I guess the ending by the 3rd chapter. . . 

The premise of this was really interesting but by the time all the plot points spelled out in the book’s summary have come to pass, that is where the intrigue ends. There wasn’t really any additional tension built on top of what you’re told happens in the blurb. Both the reveal of the mystery and the emotional arcs of our characters were unsatisfying and I didn’t get a sense of what THE POINT was. 

I did like the writing though. There was definitely a melodrama to the prose, but these characters were going through very dramatic situations, so I guess it didn’t bother me.

I am interested to try something else from this author to see if, with a different premise, it might be more fleshed out and satisfying.
