MY THOUGHTS⇣
Dylan Moore was terrific...I believe this is my first time listening to a book narrated by her. I kept thinking Drew Barrymore was narrating...her voice sounds quite similar to hers.
I haven't been reading/listening to mystery/suspense/thriller genre for all that long now...I would say I'm still fairly new to the different types of stories and still learning what I like best in this genre. I do know one thing though, Riley Sager is an author I really like. His books haven't disappointed me yet.
The tension or the what-the-f*ck-ness set from the beginning is palpable throughout the story. I never saw that ending coming, totally waylaid, and I was too engrossed to think about the possible implausibility of it to let it affect my rating too severely.
I would love to see Netflix make a show and call it From the Mind of Riley Sager and just make 10-episode seasons off each book.
