I got bored halfway through. Also, I'm not sure if I thought the ending was ridiculous because it actually was or because I'm mad that I didn't predict it.
This was hard to get through – it was just so sad. I admire how well Ford is doing now after such a difficult childhood. It's crazy to think that her parent in prison for 25 years was a better parent than the one who wasn't incarcerated.
A slow start, but once it gets going, it's a fun read. I hope Hawkins writes more thrillers.
My expectations were admittedly low, because I wasn't that impressed with Lutz's last couple of books, so I was happy this exceeded them...mostly. The ending was...meh. But the rest was great!
I have a single complaint: too many characters. But everything else was excellent. There were a couple nights I had to make myself stop reading so I could go to bed. The mystery is hard to puzzle out, but when it's all spelled out, it makes complete sense. Hallett is brilliant.
