I could knock off an entire star for how many times Megan Miranda used the phrase “he/she blinked slowly”
Really good book that was well written. Megan did a really good of keeping you guessing until the end! Literally had no idea what happened! Really good mystery that I enjoyed very much and would definitely recommend to others!

BOEK 100 VAN 2020!!!
Dit is mijn derde boek van deze auteur en opnieuw wist ze de spanning en het mysterie goed op te bouwen. Niets echt super innovatief of memorabel, maar een solide, onderhoudende thriller.
2 stars and I feel that rating is generous. For a thriller, this was far from thrilling and I hated every single character. I dont know why I finished it...

I have now read Megan Miranda's last three books and consider this one the best so far. Writing is excellent - nuanced, thoughtful, and a great mix of description (you can imagine Littleport based on her scene setting alone), action, intrigue. She does a wonderful job with characterization, particularly with the lead character Avery, the “townie” - her backstory unspools as the story proceeds but never in a forced or trite way. There are alternating time frames a year apart, but they are clearly identified and lend a sense of foreboding to the mystery. I got to the “answer” a bit before the end, but not by much and was thoroughly engrossed. Definitely so much more accomplished than others I've read this year in this same genre.
