I would really recommend this book to anyone who is getting into the murder mystery genre like myself. The writing is absolutely fantastic and it genuinely made my heart race at certain moments. At first I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to go along with the mc but I was definitely proved wrong. 

There’s a lot of tension and build up but it kind of just fizzles out and starts building up again. There’s not really a satisfying resolve or explanation for a few smaller things.
