Enjoyable book, perhaps 100 pages too long. The twist was obvious to see but delivered nicely. Too many characters caused for a lot of questioning who is saying this, how are they involved, etc.

This was a fun read I got through in one night, but I’m left with unanswered questions! Seems like an interesting coincidence that Rupert meets “Luke” in London just a few weeks after his father suddenly dying of a heart attack at such a young age. We have the mention on one of the social media threads of the drug that can be injected and mimic a heart attack, which a nurse may be able to access, and Jonah’s sister happens to be a nurse with red hair who may or may not have been seen near Guy’s house before he died. I get the insinuation, why WHY would she want him dead? She must have been more involved with Jonah’s activities. Also, Bill said he was not at the conference in England in 2003, but others say he was? Plus, what about Caroline’s baby?

Enjoyed the read, but wish I could have gotten more answers!

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

Really incoherent in the way it’s told. Super hard to follow.

The audiobook had 4 different voice actors all acting out different investigators in the novel. A 20 yr old murder trying to be solved live. After the first half of the book portrayed the discovery of the investigations the second half was full of revelation after revelation. I thought it was obvious from the beginning who committed the murder but did not see how everyone called in to help solve the murder were invovled with the case. Fast paced, very entertaining.
