This book was a rare case of the source material for a tv show being of lesser quality than the actual show. The writing for the HBO show is far more sophisticated and develops the characters in much greater depth than this clumsily, if somewhat imaginative, novel. I finished this one because it was a fast read but I won't be reading further into this series.

This was such a fast paced thriller that had me at the edge of my seat for most of the story. I love the different point of views through the story especially Lucinda and the killer. The way all the pieces of the mystery came together was so satisfying and at the same time the twists the author threw at us had me pausing the audiobook to take a moment to process. This was such a perfectly paced, beautifully written and exciting story.

A little bit too slow paced for my taste and I didn't like how the ending turns the shown-to-be smart protagonist into an idiot. The romantic subplot I can live without, the concept is interesting but the execution underwhealming. Also, final deus ex machina would work better if more buildup was made before. However, it is an enetertaining book, especially after the third part, and the author has potential.

A well written story with plenty of twists and red herrings to keep you guessing. It was told from many different viewpoints so you got lots of pieces of the puzzle but still couldn't see the big picture.
