was not as suspenseful as i thought it was going to be, got very predictable in the second half, it was somewhat entertaining for the most part but overall it really missed the mark

I enjoyed this book and it's twists and turns kept my attention through a reading slump where other more literary books did not. A solid murder mystery but not reaching Agatha Christie heights for me.
