Super spannende thriller. Net zo spannend als mel wallis de vries alleen nu een mannelijke personage 
Het leest makkelijk weg en ik had niet kunnen voorspellen wat er gaat gebeuren. 
De 2e helft van het boek voelde erg vluchtig en ik vond er veel gebeuren waar door ik soms even terug moest lezen.

The way the it was written made me nervous and stressed for the main character. There were tense moments where i couldn't put the book down combined parts where I was getting annoyed with the character and had to take a break.

The protagonist is a deeply unlikable character, whose self-centeredness and plagiarism make her hard to root for. Yet, the narrative is told entirely from her perspective, forcing readers to endure her fears and anxieties. It's a frustrating experience to be complicit in the mind of such a morally bankrupt individual.

 

The book covers a lot of relevant and interesting topics.

I loved it, I just couldn't put it down and I had to know what was happening next!
The beginning was a bit slow but it was getting better and I just had to keep reading.
I would recommend this book if you love a good mystery/thriller.
