My review:
📚 I did enjoy the book. In fact, I loved it. The plot was really, really good.
HOWEVER....
📚 The ending wasn't good. I could have guessed it (and I did).
📚 This is only my second Freida work I've read (previously I read the first book in the series), but I honestly don't believe I'll read any more of her work.
📚 There were minor details that only an English major would find, but it irked me to the point where I almost DNF'd (did not finish) it!
Overall, if you like mystery and thriller novels, this definitely is the author for you!
