MY REVIEW

What I liked about this story...  A very interesting read indeed.  For me, the suspense was the best part of this thriller.  You follow, mainly, Jack who breaks into buildings to test companies security systems, with her husband working the tech side of it.  There were certainly a lot of twists and turns in this story and certainly a few that I weren't expecting.  Anyone is a suspect!

What I didn't like about this story...  This took a bit to get into at the start but once the suspense stated to build up I was fully invested.

Would I recommend...  A great thriller, with a slow start but great twists in the story.  Would recommend but if you are reading Ruth Ware for the first time I would probably start with her backlist first.
