Omg, that was sooooo good!!! If I could have read this book in one go, I totally would have! As it is it took me 2 days, which isn't bad to be fair!
It had me hooked from the first page and I enjoyed trying to figure out who dunnit! It was really well written and I personally felt myself sharing the characters fear, anxiety and I could really the picture the isolated scenery (talking of which I hope I never find myself isolated in a place like that! That is scary especially with a murderer on the loose!)
I got a chance to read this book through NetGalley, so thank you to them for accepting my request to read it and of course, thank you to Ruth for creating such a thrilling book!
If you like a good thriller, then I highly recommend this to you!

This was such a massive disappointment. I was so bored reading this. There were too many characters that were not fleshed out enough and there was way too much focus on the tech company. The only interesting part of this book for me ending up being the premise and even that fell flat with how much everything was dragged out for this book. I am very hesitant to pick up any other Ruth Ware books after reading this. I may finally read The Turn of the Key because so many love it, but this book does not make me want to read any other books by her.
