Alicia is a somewhat sympathetic character, despite this apparent charge brought against her. However, if Michaelides was going for “all-around despicable,” he definitely succeeded.

I rarely miss twists, but this one got me. Despite an opaque display of rather toxic masculinity, this book is an enjoyable mystery that packs a solid punch. This is a gripping thriller that keeps you guessing, unsure who to trust, clear until the twist at the end. Many people have tried to get through to her and failed, but forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber thinks he holds the key to unlocking her voice, and finding out what really happened that night.
