I loved this book.

Although the action takes its time, everything kinda slowly evolves, this story is brilliantly written and keeps the reader hooked till the end. Think about twists and turns! This book has them all.

Usually, a book is a huge turn off for me when I cannot connect with any of the characters. Somehow, this story, these characters, are different. They are all very hateful, still I just kept reading because I could not put this book down.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It was an amazing read just in time to finish the year.

It had a slow start and multiple  unlikeable and unreliable narrators. About three quarters of the way through I found I could not put it diwn. It was a clever ending, but I wish it had been revealed in less of a direct way.  The audiobook narrator was excellent. It's a interesting thriller where no one can or should be trusted.  I enjoyed it.

This was an interesting book to read.  I'm glad I knew to expect the first half to be slow; if not, I'd probably have DNF'd it.  There was a lot of build up on the characters and the plot but when it finally picked up, it really picked up.  

I loved the short quick chapters from the differing point of views. It's always enjoyable to me when I can see the story through someone else's eyes and not just the MC.  There are red herrings and twists throughout the book and it was fun to wonder what was what and see how it finally all played out.

Rated 3/5, and recommended to those that like mysteries (thrillers might be stretching it just a bit) and can make it through the first half of a slow book.
