This was my first McFadden book, and it was fine. I won’t seek out her other books, but I would read more if I had nothing else β and the chances of that are slim. π The main character, Blake, is a little whiny and annoying, but the twists were a surprise (at least to me, some say they could see them coming a mile away), and I raced through it in no time. The audio is well done with a male and female narrator for the POVs.
If you’re a McFadden fan, pick it up; otherwise, it would make a good, fast read for the beach. Alternatively, try the psychological thrillers by Green Hendricks/Sarah Pekkanen, Liv Constantine, or Shari Lapena.

Agree with your review of this book. I read, I finished, it was ok, but I would not quickly seek out her other books.
I like that you gave some other authors as alternatives for good psychological thrillers.
My favorite thrillers/mystery thrillers have been Amity Gaige – Heartwood, Beartooth – Callan Wink, First Lie Wins – Ashley Elston
Paranormal thriller -Shutter – Ramona Emerson
