This thriller offers a tight study in escalating tension, with a twisty structure that keeps the mystery alive while a passionate romance complicates the detective work. Chapman's dialogue crackles during group therapy scenes, where each patient's hidden agenda adds texture to the protagonist's unraveling. A strong example of balancing genre beats with character-driven reveals.
