This book is really well paced, the short chapters keep you engaged and the writing style is easy to follow. 

Whilst I would argue one of the main twists was fairly easy to guess (if you read thrillers regularly) I did not see the ending coming and for that reason did not feel disappointed. It’s a thriller worth the read.
