Honestly, it was only "okay"...
Not my favorite of Alex Michaelides books but still a good read. Loved the Greecian setting and the style of writing was great and compelling, but I just found the plot to be a little too predictable for my liking. Maybe it's because Mr. Michaelides has a few books published now so my "spidey-senses" are heightened when I read his books (question everything) but I didn't really expect it to work and I totally guessed most of the ending by about half-way through the book.
Still a fun read! Still going to recommend it to book-friends, but not the first one of Mr. Miachaelides novels I will suggest.
