This is one of those thrillers that stand out from the crowd.
Especially the first few chapters are incredible! The plot thickness with every chapter and you are hooked before you know it.
Where this type of thrillers usually have a problem is with the ending, when the author tries to tie everything up and usually take it too far, but this one stays realistic.
The multiple POVs, especially the little girl's make a difference in this book, e pecially in the audiobook form. I think that both the author and rhe voice actors caught their voices really well.
I'll definitely try to find more books from this author
