Some people say it's too predictable, but the story line caught me by surprise more than once. I love it when a psychological thriller makes me feel totally off-kilter, wondering what is real and what is not. This debut felt very solid and masterful to me as well.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-56753192206452766892018-02-10T21:45:08.023-08:002018-02-10T21:45:08.023-08:00I'm 100 pages into this but I'm not won ov...I'm 100 pages into this but I'm not won over yet :( It's definitely slow burn, which I think is why I'm not loving it yet. <br />Glad you enjoyed it!

A woman who is drinking (to excess?), witnesses a crime, is possibly unreliable, police don’t believe her story or find holes in it... it definitely sounds familiar. Not necessarily a bad thing because I’m still intrigued by Anna and what she saw, and the relationship with Evan. I might check my library for this one.
