Not to mince words- I loved this book! I have read a lot of thrillers and this one really captured my attention from the thrilling start to the dramatic conclusion. In addition to multiple fun and twisted plot lines, I also really enjoyed spending time with the characters established in the story. I find that in a lot of thrillers the characters become unlikable in order to move the story along, but Alex Finley truly did a remarkable job of making each character have a unique personality that was likable and that had personalities that were not drowned out by the story happening around them.

While the story may have been in some ways predictable (but that's not saying there weren't surprises), it in no way hindered my enjoyment of the story. I loved solving the mystery with the characters, and celebrating the losses and wins with each new step in the case. I thought that the usage of multiple POVs was very well done and enhanced the story dramatically and had me consistently saying, "just one more chapter".

I easily give this debut novel 5 stars, as a mystery thriller this book does a great job at breaking the typical mold and I can't wait to read more from this author!
