I've never read a Thriller before and I'm glad this was my first. Boy were there a lot of plot twists! I loved it and my head is spinning!

What a ride! This book was such a whirlwind. I definitely did not expect the ending. It was mysterious, sad, and full of suspense. The premise of the book was new and different from most mystery/thrillers. I can imagine this scenario being real even as it seems so unrealistic. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
