This book could be spectacular, except it seems too preoccupied with explaining and justifying the protag's every action. It feels like Ruth Ware is aware people will try to pick out "plot holes " so she's preemptively overexplaining it all. That's an annoying habit for any writer, but crippling for someone who writes thrillers--books that live and die by pacing.
