Another fantastic thriller from Diana Urban!! I loved this book so much! The plot twists were great and I didn’t see a few of them coming!

It was an okay book, but the MC Jade was annoying AF. She was stuck on one theory that didn't make that much sense to me and ended up being completely wrong. Also, the killer was mega obvious. And one part of the twist I suspected. The final twist I didn't though which did wrap the book up nicely.

 I'm such a sucker for adaptations, and this one exceeds all expectations!

Though the story is inspired by Death on the Nile (Agatha Christie), all the modern twists and turns in the plot take it to another level.

I can't wait to see what Diana writes next!
