This was pretty good. The silent patient is by far his best but this was still very gripping. It reminded me of glass onion and murder on the Nile.

Most unreliable narrator of all time! I really enjoyed this, it was slightly predictable but only because I expect this author to give me a shocking twist and I wasn't as shocked this time. But I really liked it, especially on audio.

I did consider the final twist pretty early on, so it’s not like my jaw was on the floor with the ending but I still liked the story nonetheless. My biggest complaint is that there is such a thing a narrator that is too unreliable it becomes unrealistic and this book does suffer from that. But it was also entertaining and a well thought out story.

Narrator was annoying. Saw the plot twist coming from early on.
