Fun who-dun-it reminds me of Shutter Island. If anything the narrator waffled a bit too much and seemed more reliable than I prefer and I wasn’t able to buy into anything other than the questioning of herself. The movie had small improvements here but overall prefer the book’s…

Nerdy a touch of plausible sci fi. Book has more science and finer details which makes it more realistic than the movie.
