Have I now read and rated all 5 of Riley Sager’s suspense novels 3 stars? Yep. Because she’s such an unreliable narrator, both she AND readers are prime targets for gaslighting, all at the mercy of a cray cray antagonist with a truly laughable agenda.ĭespite all that, could I put the darn book down once I started? No.
