I’m familiar with his stories from many Netflix series, and this one fit right into the same pattern. His writing style, can very much play out in your head as a TV show.
Super easy to read, fast paced & once the story kicked off I was kept interested enough to keep going & going to find out what was happening.
It wasn’t super high stakes, which is what I usually like, but nonetheless a solid grounded story.
My only reason for not having a higher rating is due to the fact that the twist was kind of alluded to earlier in the story, therefore the reveal was kind of just having the characters figuring it out & solidifying the little details. I personally prefer when the twist catches me totally off guard.
Nonetheless an easy, enjoyable & digestible thriller!

owlxplore's review against another edition
This book has an interesting premise, and I think if I were more invested in the main character I might enjoy reading it. I think that these semi realistic murder novels just aren’t my type, but others could definitely enjoy reading it.
TW for graphic descriptions of death and disturbing criminals.
