When I can find a book that keeps me guessing until the very end, I cherish it. This novel exceeded my expectations with its complexity and depth. I’m a tough critic of mystery novels, and I will be the first to admit that in this genre, it is hard to impress me. 

I. Am. IMPRESSED.

Great book if you're in the mood for a mystery- with a twist I didn't see coming right at the end.
