I was going to give this 3 stars, but the was so brilliant, I gave it a 4.
I enjoyed this book, though it wasn't quite as gripping as I wanted it to be. I think some of the "whodunnit" (or rather, the who didn't do it) was a shade too obvious, and I was hoping for a little more closure at the end, but all in all a solid read. I didn't really know who the murderer was until we were supposed to, so that was nice.
Will definitely be reading more of Alex Michaelides' books when I find them!
