It was okay. A bit slow for me and a lot of it seemed a bit far fetched. Like I'm supposed to believe that they live in a big metro, big enough to have a tube station, yet the same half-dozen characters continually run into each other at all hours? Meh.

Pretty good but the perp was extremely obvious. Maybe I just read too many thrillers? I still liked it. Although the book was way longer than it should have been.

This book didn’t hook me until the very last chapter of the after section. I’m not sure exactly why it didn’t hook me, it just didn’t. It was a decent storyline though. I was also not really happy with the “plot twist” Like it was kinda dull

A good book. Some characters are hard to like as people at first. Not because they are badly written, no the characters are very well written, I mean that they have realistic flaws. I did like the mystery and the changing of points of view. It is a good book and hard to put down.
