Reviews with content warning for Murder - The Prisoner

As always, a solid thriller from BA Paris. No frills, just exactly what you want: a gross rich asshole to hate, a scrappy survivor girl to love, and a strong silent bodyguard to save her. Some kidnapping, some beautiful descriptions of New Zealand, and a chapter that's just a set of instructions. Good deal.

I had about half of the ending figured out, especially the "big reveal". So it was just meh on that front, but it was still an enjoyable book. The characters weren't very likable even the main MC, she was just soo clueless! I did like the atmosphere and that stuff. I would have liked to get to know other characters besides Amelie better, we don't get much about anyone else.
