4.0

While the mystery/thriller aspect of this book fell a bit flat in the last third or so of the book, I still found it wildly entertaining and quite often darkly funny, and I loved it overall. I would have liked just a little more of a creepiness factor, maybe a little more of a sinister feel to the antagonist, but that's a pretty minor complaint and I definitely got everything I expected out of this book based on things I've read from this author in the past. I look forward to watching the TV series to see how it compares.

3.75

Man lernt die Charaktere so gut kennen- die gesamte Lebensgeschichte - 
Alle Charaktere haben auch Schwächen, teilweise sehr große. Trotzdem kann man diese mit der Zeit nachvollziehen.
Am besten gefällt mir, wie man Sich in die Charaktere hinein versetzen kann, mann kann durch den tollen Schreibstil (wo sich die inneren Monologe der Personen je nach Charakter verändern) die Denkweise des jeweiligen   Das Ende gefällt mir nicht so gut, es kommt mir recht unrealistisch vor. <Spoiler> Auch wie plötzlich Masha verrückt geworden ist ergibt sich mir nicht ganz, ähnlich wie bei Game of Thrones mit Danny taygarien.<\spoiler>
