This book was wildly predictable right from the beginning and I knew exactly how it was going to end by about 25 pages in. That didn't stop it from being an incredibly fun read of the type that's absolutely perfect when you just want some "thriller trash" escapism. There was definitely nothing cerebral or even a little bit surprising about any of this, but I really enjoyed it anyway and appreciated it for the fun ride it was.

Like most of Frieda McFadden's books, I began this one and could not put it down. It was addicting.
However, unlike most of her other novels, this mystery was more predictable, and I was left wanting more... maybe a sequel?
But, despite this, it certainly revived me out of my reading slump, and I look forward to reading another one of her books.

Freida McFadden continues to create on-the-edge-of-your-seat thrillers with highly unexpected twists and turns. "Son" was another such book, and I enjoyed it.

This was a really fast read but incredibly predictable with several plot holes. Not my favorite and I hate being left with questions at the end!

I figured out the plot twist at about the 50% mark.
