3,5 men underhållande! Lite seg i början och lite för lätt plot-twist.

Maybe I just don't read/watch enough mysteries, but I literally had no idea who the murderer was going to be until the final reveal. And then the epilogue
Spoiler where it's revealed that Nicola likely did kill Viva, or at least was there and watched her kill herself.

The characters had me hooked into the story and I was engaged from beginning to end.

I wanted to like this more but it really didn’t get interesting til the last 20 pages. 3 stars might be too high a rating.

This book was a slow goer for me and left me confused with all the multiple characters that seemed to have nothing in common until the end...so took me a while to read. I was expecting more of a fast pace thriller but it was more slow and creepy and the action didn't happen until the last part of book. I really felt uncomfortable at the thought of all these people spying on each other and there was just too much going on at the same time. I didn't like the plot nor did I care or the characters. While not a terrible book, I was left underwhelmed...3 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for providing me with a copy to read and review!
