Sarah Isabel

"Wow! Read it in one sitting because I had to know what happened! 🤯"

"I tore through this quickly, and then was a little disappointed. It was pretty reminiscent of Girl on the Train with the unreliable narrator having memory problems and semi-witnessing a crime...and then the character loses her ****. It dragged in some parts, and I'm still not thrilled about the ending. However, it was suspenseful enough that I wanted to know what was going on and who the murderer was. I didn't enjoy it as much as Behind Closed Doors, but I'll definitely still pick up any BA Paris thrillers.<br/><br/>I also feel like there were a lot of unnecessary red herrings. I mean I didn't guess the complete story, but I feel like some characters were viewed suspiciously, and then it went nowhere."
