This book was just...plain. Quite boring, if I'm being honest. Some things that really bothered me are:
1)The killer was obvious from the beginning, what took a lot of the fun of the book.
2)I couldn't care about any of the characters. In the beginning I liked one of the narrators, but she was almost forgotten, even during her own chapters.
3)The ending was way longer than it should have been. As soon as we found out who the killer was, the story should have two or three fast-paced chapters and then one more closing it all. Instead, we had more than 20 chapters of slow paced character thinking.
All in all, it was a really boring book, even more when you take in consideration the fact that it is a thriller. I almost abandoned it a few times, because I was bored or annoyed. I wish I could say it was worth sticking till the end. It definitely wasn't.
