As with Mackintosh's previous works, I found myself fully engrossed in the story, and was pleasantly surprised by some really great twists. However, this one was a little different in that it elicited tears from me. These were not tears due to fear, but honest to goodness sad tears. I think it had a lot to due with the author delving into a lot of relationship issues, as well as mental health issues.
Mackintosh also made me fall in love with one of the characters - Murray. Murray was just the sweetest, most big-hearted guy. I am getting tears in my eyes just thinking about what a beautiful person he was. The way he loved his wife was very special. I sort of wish Mackintosh would have given him a little better ending, because I just adored him.
I am a fan of Mackintosh's writing and her storytelling. This book had a bunch of really great plot twists, and the ending!!! I just love it when something comes out of nowhere like that. Another thing I really thought was well done, was the use of a third POV. I wasn't sure who it belonged to. I thought I knew, but I wasn't sure. What I will say is that it added some extra tension and mystery to the story, and kept me wondering, which is alway fun when it comes to this type of story. This story starts really strong, but then builds slowly from there. My patience had a big payoff though, and some of those reveals were well worth the wait.
Overall: Another solid suspense-thriller from Mackintosh, which was packed with some gasp-worthy twists, some heart pounding events, and heart-tugging moments.
