It only works if you back the right horse.
Very easy to read thriller that felt pretty powerful the first half. It just felt very realistic and very mysterious which obviously meant it was very fun to read. I found the ending to be a little lacklustre and over the top in comparison to the realism and intrigue of the lead up. But I guess it's the journey that counts! Definitely interested in reading the sequel.
