"It was good. I liked the multiple narratives. It was suspenseful! "

"A little confusing at first due to 3 story lines, but got into it quickly and was very happy with this book. Very entertaining and didn't know where it was going to go. "

"Although I did figure out the killer fairly early on, there’s a really great twist that I did not guess. Good story with different timelines that weave together nicely. "

"4/5 It was a good, cozy read. There were intermittent switches between different POVs at different times. Three stories that connect into one with, of course, twists."

"Read it in two days. Pretty good, a little predictable."

"My review has ending up vastly changing from how I thought it was going to go. For the first 40% of the book I struggled. I could not get invested, it felt overwhelmingly flat. I think my lack of interest sparked from there being little to no character development, we were just thrown into 3 stories. I asked myself more than once, “How dumb is Wylie?”
While I figured out on my own how the three stories merged well before it was revealed, I did find myself wanting to know how it got there and how it ended. Everything got more interesting once I hit that 40% mark.
Another thought I had was how it was written as if it were a true crime. I was happy to find that was purposeful. "

"This book was so incredible; there's so much intensity and mystery, and the author gives you so many details that I felt like a little detective trying to figure out what all went down, and the writing is so immersive that you 1 can imagine it as a movie and I love that in thrillers significantly because it just added a lot to the whole reading experience it also felt like I was listing to a true & crime podcast which made it a quick easy read in the book you jump timelines and follow three different pov's, but they all end up correlating that was amazing because I genuinely couldn't figured out how so when it came all together it was so satisfying and well thought out the atmosphere in this book was pretty amazing, especially the current timeline the blizzard that makes this woman snowed into this house by herself till she isn't added to the winter coldness and suspefulness of the story if you read dark places and local women missing and liked those this is right up there with both absolutely recommend for the winter time."
