This book was as aggravating as it was interesting. Thriller and mystery are not my normal literary genres of choice (though I do consume more than my fair share of the film kind), so fair warning - I am not a seasoned mystery reviewer. Also, I feel like it's worth mentioning that I finished this book with - oddly enough - a new appreciation for architecture. 
 The story about a distinctive home where two women have lived - one after, and one before - is a thrilling premise. They both have had to go through an extensive screening process, and once they arrive the design of the house begins to change them in unexpected ways. The girl before ended up dead. The girl after, Jane's decision to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the woman's death put her in the line of danger. Can she avoid the same fate as the girl before? 
 I immediately found the structure of switching POV's in 2-3 page segments to be really refreshing. If the sections had been longer, than I might have put the book down earlier. The main characters, Jane and Emma were interesting in the sense that even though we're entirely dependent on their point of view their choices are still surprising. Especially Emma's. In fact the story "twist" that occurs about 2/3rds through the book is the source of some of my frustration - it almost feels like the last minute attempt to sow seeds of doubt teeters on being a betrayal of the writing and storytelling that occurred during the majority of the book. Characters were thrown in to keep you off the scent of the murderer in an fairly obvious manner, and the ending feels rushed. The ending feels less poetic and more... formulaic. 
 The book falls somewhere between 3-3.5 stars for me. It's very different, and I'm glad I read it. I'm also glad that I picked up the book in hardback and decided against purchasing it for my kindle. If you do decide to read this book, buy the physical copy before springing for the digital one - the typeface is something special, combined with the size of the page and the margins, it's really nice to read.
