I loved the first 4/5ths of this book. I had read all of Sharon Bolton's Lacey Flint novels and I really liked those, but this book left me shaking my head in disbelief at the far-fetched ending. I did like the urgency of the short chapters and the fast pace, but was ultimately disappointed in this book because of the implausible twists it took in the end. It was all gritty and dark and suspenseful, but then at the end it suddenly turned into a soap opera plot. I'd give the first 4/5ths of the book 5 stars, but the last 5th gets 1 star from me. Overall I gave it 3.5. Some folks obviously like it, but for me it's pretty flawed.
