Well...
I really enjoyed this book for the first 100 pages and then it just went downhill.
I don't mind a little backstory in a thriller but this felt too much? I don't really understand why we needed to know so much about the FMC and what it added to the story?
As well as that, the 'whodunit' was pretty obvious which kind of left the rest of the story feeling pointless. I'm all for the ride to get to the conclusion but this just felt like a waste of eyeballs.
Overall, 2 stars is generous and can't say I will be rushing to read another Flynn book again.
I'm just happy this book was £1!
21/07 - on reflection, changed to 1 star because i'm mad.

I really hated the FMC. Frankly, all the characters were unlikable.

God. Damn. Wow.
Terrifying and thrilling I thought I knew the ending but I was wrong
The novel was exceptionally compelling, exhibiting significant narrative tension and featuring a protagonist who was both impressive and integral to the plot. I found the story to be highly enjoyable and ultimately captivating, culminating in a truly remarkable conclusion.
