Well I gave it my usual 100 pages and when I couldn't stand it anymore I gave up.
This book is totally preposterous, the characters implausible and the subject matter ridiculous .
I love these authors but boy, this one was horrendous.
I know I'm in the minority as most reviews are good, but hey, different strokes for different folks!
My opinion.

This book was so silly, but I could not stop reading it. I stayed up way too late! Part 3 didn't maintain the same level of suspense, but I still wanted to see what would happen. Truly a guilty pleasure.
I was enjoying this book but it was moving a little slowly for me until a certain revelation which made the book jump up a notch for me and definitely made me want to keep turning the pages more and more quickly. Jess was a very interesting character. It seemed to me that she was stuck between a rock and a hard place more than once but she was strong, smart and resilient and continued to surprise me. I very much enjoyed this book.
Not my cup of tea.
This is my first book by these authors. I wasn't sure what to expect but wow! This book was amazing!
One of those page turners, for sure. Had to order a copy of their first book too.

I thought this was a fun and compelling thriller. I couldn't stop turning the pages. While I have seen a few reviews say it isn't plausible (and maybe in some ways it isn't) I felt it could be plausible. There are manipulative, insane people in the world and there are vulnerable victims in the world. This creeped me out all along the way and I was in fear for the protagonist as the metaphorical noose kept tightening! An evil, insane, clever villain in a position of power is a scary thing! There were twists right up to the end. I enjoyed every minute of it!
Holy Doughnut Holes Batman! That was a wild ride.
If you want a book to keep you attention and make you think, swear, anguish over and shout Yes!, this one is for you. A rollercoaster of suspense and thrills.
The narrator was excellent, easy to listen to and understand.

"Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt? Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about? Should a punishment always fit the crime?" These are questions asked by Dr. Shields when Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study about ethics and morality. She is being paid for her answers and becomes Suspect 52. As the questions get more and more intense and invasive, Jessica's paranoia grows.
I found this book to be very unique, intriguing and suspenseful. The plot rolls out slowly but keeps the pages turning. The book is well-written and the characters seem like real people. The point of view alternates between Jessica and Dr. Shields. Lots of twists and turns lead this psychological thriller to a very surprise ending. I'm looking forward to reading Hendricks/Pekkanen's first book, The Wife Between Us, as I really enjoyed this one. I would highly recommend this book to those who love to read about obsession and power.
I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy of this book for an honest review.
