If you love a classic scary movie, you'll probably enjoy this.
It's well paced and interesting without being ridiculous. The storyline did keep me guessing. It seems like the sort of story you've heard a 100 times, but still, this iteration finds a way to be completely unique.
My one critique would be that I could tell Maggie was written by a man. This is my first Riley Sager novel so I really didn't know anything about him, but there were times I felt that I could tell Maggie didn't quite feel grounded in a way that felt like a realistic female character- she just made choices that felt incongruent with the female experience. (Not that there is one perfect way to be a woman- that's not my point here, at all. It was more of the ways women have to act in our society for their own safety kind of things, if that makes sense.)
