4.5 stars
This was my first read by this author and I thought it was great.
I picked this one because I haven't read many, if any, thrillers with a workplace setting and I loved that. The story follows two timelines, one in the present and the other six months prior, leading up to the present day. That's something I happen to love in thrillers and I think it was done so well here.
I had some theories while reading this, but the author did a great job at making me second guess myself. She also made me second guess how I feel about the characters. But even when I found them unlikable and their actions very questionable, to say the least, she managed to make me care about them and their relationships.
I listened to the audio version and really enjoyed it. I've seen some negative reviews about the narration but, luckily, it worked for me and helped me stay engaged in the story.

That's awesome Snjez! Love that you liked this so much! I've never read anything by this author either, but a thriller is not something I'd enjoy. Happy you found a new author you love, hopefully their other books are as enjoyable for you as this one was! Great review as always, Snjez! <3

I'm not a fan of the ridiculous ones with twists you don't see coming only because they don't make sense. 😂 This one wasn't like that. I'll definitely read more by the author. 😊

Glad you liked it, Snjez. I’ve enjoyed a couple of books by this author. Will definitely add to the tbr now. It’s not often you get a thriller in the workplace. Great review x
I'm glad your first go with this author was such a successful one, Snjez! Terrific review! 🧡

I was fully invested in the story from the beginning and I really liked seeing everything unfold slowly. And that feeling when you don't know who and what to believe? I think it was done well. And no twists that come out of nowhere. 😅
Fantastic review, Snjez! 💜 Glad you enjoyed it.
