As someone who has only read one thriller this year (out of 100 books so far), I donโt have much to compare this with, but I thought this was an enjoyable story with steady pacing and plenty of twists!
There are many plot lines and character threads weaving together, and I found myself questioning everyone and trying to guess the lies.
If you want a fun thriller thatโs not scary (imho as a scaredy cat), then I think this would be a good choice.
Overall, I would recommend this book!
