This book doesn’t really have quotes per say because it’s all emails and text messages, so…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Wow, what a whopper of a crime book done well. Beyond ‘well’ in fact, it was exceptionally written. This is something I have not seen in a modern crime book before, and I have read quite a few. No real in face dialogue, there is only emails, texts and documents. It was so refreshing to read, and definitely kept me guessing until the very end. Honestly probably my new top 5 read of 2021. So so so good, go read it.
