I bought this book in an airport because I’d finished all the ones I’d packed, and it was half the price of the one I wanted to get and I somewhat regret being cheap. Alright for a holiday read though!
nearly all the twists were so predictable and some of the characters were dull and repetitive, it was painful getting through the chapters from their point of view.

Frustrated with this one because when I started it I truly didn’t know what was going to happen next & it wasn’t very predictable.
And then the last chapter felt incredibly rushed. Like first attempt at writing it, no edits, rushed. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
There was also a lot of, what I found to be, unnecessary French in the book. & I didn’t love the unnecessary romance of one of the characters later in the book and how that same character is always making stupid decisions, feels like a lazy way to move the plot or make things work.
Again - I appreciate the mystery and how it unraveled but there was so much unnecessary information and side plots that felt pointless and so many side plots left unanswered.
4 stars because the foundation of the book and story were there and the first 80% of the book I was hooked. But the ending was mostly flat.
