This book has a lot of parallels to the 2022 Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy movie, The Menu, crossed with Steve Carell and Tina Fey's 2010 Date Night.
SLIGHT SPOILERS::
This is a thriller farce with a happy ending. Totally Hollywood style. Unhappy midlife marital tropes. Too many coincidences. Dufus local cops. Dissention in the ranks of the bad guys. Carpool mom trying to be the hero.

But look at the cover. This wasn't meant to be gritty. There is enough conflict to give the story legs, but a tidy finish riding into the sunset, or in this case, sunrise.
