Im shocked that Mary Kubica is a debut author. From the first chapter I was drawn into the story and suspense. The characters were real and believable. Overall, a very good story. However, I felt it was a liiiiiiiittle drawn out and by the end i was getting muy muy bored. Also it was almost entirely predicable. Except for the end. The end was what made it worth reading. So if you're looking for a mystery/thriller thats not to stressful, I would recommend this. If you're looking for a Gone Girl, you might be disappointed
