Dying for Christmas

This novel started very promisingly, but it didn't manage to keep the suspense the whole way through. It just went on, and on, and on, and I eventually got bored of Jessica and Dominic. It was like a poor man's Gone Girl, with an equally annoying ending.

The premise was interesting, but it just wasn't to my satisfaction. When you start a book that says the heroine is going to end up dead, you're intrigued and I was, but it didn't last. I got bored. Then the plot twist happened and it just went to a place I didn't expect or like.

And the ending! What is it with thriller writers and stupid non endings? I'm sick of them. I wanted to know what consequences there were, what happened to detective Kim and her family. Ugh. I was very disappointed overall.
