A very engrossing, fast-paced thriller I read on one long sitting. The story is layered, albeit a bit far-fetched, but nevertheless interesting and engaging. There are plenty of excellent twists and many caught me off guard. You definitely keep going, hoping to figure out what the hell is going on. The only part that didn't work for me is the ending. I saw the final twist coming, which per se is no big deal. But without giving anything away, that twist and the subsequent last few chapters felt unfinished on two dimensions. A couple of more chapters to tie up the story would have been needed. So while everything else worked for me and this was a great pageturner, the last 5% left me not quite satisfied. Still, fully recommend this read, the good reviews are well deserved.
