I started reading this on my kindle but was really struggling, so I decided to switch to the audiobook on bookbeat, and I'm so glad I did.
The storyline was great, and the narrator really bought the book to life, but it needed a bit more in terms of pace. If you want that edge of seat feeling, maybe try one of Karen's earlier thrillers. If I hadn't switched to the audiobook, I would definitely have given up.
