I don't read a ton of thrillers, but I'd heard there was a good plot twist in this one. Though I did figure it out, I didn't think that made it a bad twist. It was just a trope I recognized. I felt like some of the mental health commentary was odd, since I work in that field, but that might just be being too close to things. In the end, it was an easy read and kept me engaged.
