Former friends and long time friends, poverty and privilege, revenge and escape all combine together in a solid thriller. The narrative flits back and forth through a six month span, slowly revealing the events that lead to the death of one character and who is really to blame. While the eventual reveal isn't terribly surprising, we've gone through so many suggestions and motivations by that point that it remains satisfying. All three major characters have a reasonable amount of complexity and motivations that aren't immediately apparent. While it's not the most innovative book you'll ever read, it's solidly compelling and carries enough tension that it will probably support a repeat read (or listen).
