I Will always love Freida's writing style. It is so easy to pick up a book and get lost in it... An easy read but an  enjoyable one.

I wish the ending wasn't as open-ended...

I just can't get enough of Freida's books! She has become one of my favorite authors and I will read pretty much anything she writes. This book had another great twist that I didn't see coming. Freida is the queen of red herrings as well.

My first Freida McFadden book and I'm looking forward to more!

A fairly fast-paced read with short, digestible chapters that made me want to read "just one more." 

I did predict the "twist" fairly early on but I wasn't necessarily disappointed when it was revealed. It was still very suspenseful, and I loved the switching POVs, with interlaced police interviews.

I really enjoyed this one, I recently read 'Never Lie' and the book is really promising. I liked the grasp of the mystery but it didn't keep me so entertained.
