3.0

There's a lot I liked about this book. The majority felt like being on a roller coaster and trying to figure out what was happening and most of all WHO DID IT? That being said, the ending fell a little flat for me. i wanted to love this book, but in the end, I only like it, which was disappointing. 

The audio book narrators are great!

Mild spoilers:

While I see the ending was planned from the beginning, it's the kind of ending which requires too much explanation, leaving me asking "What was the point of everything else?" I was left with questions and wondering if it would have been better for the ending to be different. There are a lot of red herrings, and they amount to...nothing?

I really enjoyed my time with this audiobook. The performances were excellent (even on 1.5x speed, lol), and I found myself pulled into the twisted tale easily. Quite liked the twist.

Truly a masterpiece, the plot twist is unlike anything I've seen or heard, truly marvellous, I binged the book and man I'm baffled! A must read for people who like crime, mysterious, suspense and other related genres. And if you like plot twists, thrill and you've not read this book, what the hell you doin man?

I usually figure out thrillers ahead of time, but this one had even me fooled- definitely worth a read. I actually said "WHAT THE F***" out loud at one point!
