I don't think I'd call this book a "thriller" necessarily. The first 2/3 had very little, if any, mysterious aspects; a few hints alluding to something hidden here or there, but nothing overt. The last 1/3 was all the action, which unfortunately was completely unconvincing. I get that these characters had secrets, but it was like the author turned them into completely different people, not at all how we got to know them. Which would be thrilling, if it had been in any way believable.

Overall, I liked the idea of the book and the characters were wonderfully flawed; it was as perfect formula for a phycological thriller.
It just fell flat and didn't come across as believable unfortunately.
