Not sure what all the fuss is about. I found this book repetitive and unoriginal.

Tämä kirja oli saamassa minulta kolme tähteä, mutta kirjan loppu tipautti sen kahteen tähteen. Kyllä tämä luettava oli, mutta ei tosiaan juurikaan parempi kuin ok.

Wow, so many twists and turns I couldn’t put this book down.

Nice thriller. Plenty of red herrings. Plenty of suspense and build up.
Possibly some unnecessary moralizing, but still an enjoyable read.
Wavering between 3 and 4 stars over the ending (possibly post script), but will err on the side of generosity.

The Girl Before is an intriguing story about a controlling landlord, and the past repeating itself...

Delaney writes an excellent intertwined novel, with the lives of the past and the future - Emma and Jane - following the same course. But when Emma's timeline ends in a gruesome death, what can Jane do to stop it? It was a great book, with an ending I never expected, however it contained excessive amounts of awkward scenes which made me not like it as much.
