Can Jules find out what really happened to her new friend before she suffers a similar fate? Even if you lock every door, you can't stay hidden when an old Gothic building hides lots of other secrets…
I devoured another Riley Sager book in about a day, and I probably would have done the same with this one if work hadn't gotten in the way.
