This was a pretty disappointing book for me. Dual timelines are really hard in thrillers and I felt like they didn't work here. Neither timeline was strong enough to carry the story, so it wound up feeling like we got two half stories that kind of connected by the end, but without any satisfying payoff.

She also constantly ended sections on cliffhangers before switching over to the other timeline. A few times is fine, but it was constant. It didn't hold my interest in the book, I just found it annoying. And double frustrating because by the time I would get back to the original timeline, several chapters had passed and I wasn't as invested in that event.

I liked the characters and her writing just as much as I always do. It wasn't a bad book by any means and I'd recommend it if you're planning to read the Grant County series, but I did find it weaker than her usual books.
