I finished this in two days. I was hooked up until 60%, then it became super obvious who the killer was. I guessed correctly who it was but I also read lots of thrillers lol. This wasn't GREAT but it wasn't terrible. It kept me entertained and didn't drag too much. I think it was just fine.

It took me almost half the book before I really go into it. I found the beginning to be very slow and almost boring. It was an almost DNF but I powered through and finally finished it! The story really picked up about halfway through and I did enjoy the plot twist at the end!
