"Really enjoyed, could be slow but the ending is great!"

"What a wild ride! "

"Despite my three-star review, I did enjoy this. The twists were many and wild so I did not guess the ending which is usually easy for me. The main character Cass is an unreliable narrator and made the book even more compelling. Still, Cass believes herself to have early-onset Alzheimer's. So the story becomes very repetitive and exhausting. Also, the whole story is a build-up for the end reveal. So while the end was good the rest of it was single-minded."

"It was a little slow in some places, but overall I enjoyed this book. The ending was so good!"

"I tore through this quickly, and then was a little disappointed. It was pretty reminiscent of Girl on the Train with the unreliable narrator having memory problems and semi-witnessing a crime...and then the character loses her ****. It dragged in some parts, and I'm still not thrilled about the ending. However, it was suspenseful enough that I wanted to know what was going on and who the murderer was. I didn't enjoy it as much as Behind Closed Doors, but I'll definitely still pick up any BA Paris thrillers.<br/><br/>I also feel like there were a lot of unnecessary red herrings. I mean I didn't guess the complete story, but I feel like some characters were viewed suspiciously, and then it went nowhere."

"I really enjoy B A Paris’s books normally, but this one dragged on with little thriller towards the end. "
