In its genre, this is one of the best I’ve read. The suspense and plot twists are amazing and even though the book might be a tad too long, I still found myself very invested in the outcome and the storyline. Curious to read more Joël Dicker!

This book made me viscerally angry. I don't know if I've ever been so mad and frustrated with a book.
