This was an unremarkable but enjoyable thriller.
It was interesting and creepy enough to have no trouble snagging and keeping my attention. The story only takes a few shallow twists before diving right into the action and murder. It does feel a little straightforward - like two mysterious things happen, and then the main character is conveniently trapped and given all the necessary info dumps to uncover the truth - but as a quick, palate cleansing read it did its job.
