This one was much much better. I really liked the twisted set up. This is not a whodunnit. We know whodunnit by chapter 2, and see inside their head with them telling us all about it, just so there’s no doubt about it. Nor is it whydunnit. We know that too. This was something different: A, now that we know all of that... will anything actually come of that or not? Will this guy just keep getting away with it? This was a different way to do the you-in-danger-girl plot line but make it terrifying in a different way. And I genuinely did not see the end twist coming either- which is good because I’d have rolled my eyes far more at this one if I had. But it worked in the moment. Finished it in an afternoon- just what I wanted from a thriller.
