So the beginning of the book was a bit hard to get into I was a bit confused since it’s not what I normally read but once I got used to the script writing I was devouring this book! Kept me guessing and I still had it wrong. Just wow I loved it!

The book's format is interesting, but exhausting after awhile. Not sure if it was worth it. Read it pretty fast and it's your standard crime novel. The character of the producer came across too annoying and too lost in his own sadistic game, I wished he wasn't there most of the time.
All in all it was ok, a bit underwhelming, but not a bad book. You can have fun with it.

This books offers a truly innovative storytelling experience through its unique format. I was captivated by the incorporation of mixed media elements such as transcripts, interviews, emails and news clippings. The introduction of each character through their resumes, accompanied by photos, adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

What sets this book apart and contributes to its high rating is the evident effort put forth by the author. The meticulous attention to detail shines through, enhancing the overall reading experience. I highly recommend both reading the book and listening to the audiobook. The cast's stellar performance brings the story to life, immersing the listener in a narrative that feels akin to watching a Netflix documentary.

One drawback of the book is that the ending felt a bit underwhelmed. The lack of closure on certain storylines may leave a desire for more resolution. Despite this, the overall reading experience was thoroughly enjoyable.
