I enjoyed it. Slow in some parts. I liked the twist but the ending wasn't as good as the twist. 

DNF. Over de helft en er is nog steeds niets interessant gebeurd

It was a fine read. If anyone else wrote it perhaps I would have rated it with 3.5 stars, if that were possible. Like I said, it was a fine read, quite average. In the end it was a bit far stretched from time to time. The conclusions she jumped to were somewhat unrealistic, which frustrated me and made the book predictable. Also, the ending of the book was a bit simple in my opinion. I expected more, so much more, from Nicci French :(
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Though I have some reservations and mixed feelings about it, this novel was un-put-down-able. It is probably the most addictive and fun book I've read since Gone Girl...I finished the whole thing in 24 hours. It was fascinating, a guilty pleasure, suspenseful, and genuinely touching and thought-provoking.
It was more emotionally disturbing to me than Gone Girl, in that the main character seemed more realistic in her feelings, more human. And the ending left me feeling both relief and sadness. Also, I really enjoyed the mountain-climbing aspect of this novel-it was an interesting dimension to the thriller.
I will definitely be looking into reading other novels by Nicci French in the future.

Meeslepend verhaal dat, ondanks een dipje in het midden, las als een trein.
