Listened to the audiobook. Dual time lines, campus murder. Felt a little too long.

Honestly just... Wow. I'm again lost for words when it comes to Ruth Ware and her breathtaking plot twists.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁 📝
The Plot itself is just brilliant. First of all the Dual before and after POV's (Dual in the sense of one person, two different time lines) and then the plot twists and just general story line. It was all so freaking balanced and perfectly thought of.
I was so sure I had it all figured out but gosh was I wrong.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 👥
There were many notable characters but I won't go into detail about them or we'll sit here for some time. The most important characters were probably Hannah, April, Will, Hugh, Emily and Ryan. Plus some important characters such as John Neville, Dr Myers, Geraint, November and so on and so forth. The list goes on an on.
Despite there being so many important characters, they weren't overwhelming the plot. I could tell you about them all in detail. Huge kudos to Ruth Ware for writing memorable characters and also a few challenging additions (I rarely read/see books in the POV of a pregnant main character).
𝗪𝗵𝘆 5 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀? ⭐
I think Ruth Ware can write anything and I'd absolutely love it. I was ready to dislike this one because I didn't catch on until the 40% mark but afterwards it was a 5 Star read through and through. The twists and turns, the plot, the characters: Everything was one big symphony of astonishment. I couldn't find a single thing I dislike about this Thriller and I'm happy to give this book the praise it deserves.

Another fantastic book by Ruth Ware. The whole time, I was on edge, and the ending took me completely by surprise and I was literally holding my breath while finishing this book.
