I was pulled into this story line very quickly, but the ending left me feeling a little let down. I had some suspicions as to who the killer was, but I'll admit I never suspected the person it turned out to be. That's mostly due to the fact that the ending almost made no sense to me. Therefore, I had to lower my rating a bit.

I couldn't quite grasp how Neve pieced together the suspect. The ending felt rushed, as if it was thrown together at the last minute.

One big annoyance that I had with the book in general was how repetitive the most mundane tasks became, such as what foods they were eating. I realize that life can be rather boring at times, but I don't want to read about it! I started skimming a lot of the unnecessary details to get to the more interesting parts. The book definitely needed a bit of editing to cut out so much filler.
