Di buku ini sejak awal kita tidak diajak untuk menerka-nerka siapakah pelaku pembunuhan, tetapi kita diajak untuk ikut mencari motif apa yang membuat pembunuh melakukan tindakan tsb. Motif pelaku sangat sederhana, tetapi saya justru berpikir sebaliknya sehingga saya merasa harus berpikir keras untuk memecahkan motif pelaku. Bisa dibilang motif pelaku ini sesederhana perasaan kita terhadap sesuatu, kita tidak perlu memiliki alasan untuk suka atau tidak suka thdp sesuatu, jika otak kita sudah di doktrin untuk tidak menyukai sesuatu hal maka tanpa sadar kitapun memupuk rasa benci terhadap hal tersebut

I found this so readable, I read through it in a day which is not the norm for me. The mystery is creatively written and defied my expectations of a typical thriller/mystery novel. The writing took a little while to get used to but once I did I was sucked in and needed to know what happened next. I really enjoyed the plot but did find the ending to be a bit quick and would have liked to see it drawn out a bit more. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more from this author.
