A very quick read, but not my favourite of his work! It's still good and a definite page turner.

Was this far-fetched? Yes. Was it a thriller? Not that much. But like other JP Delaney books, this was very entertaining and hard to put down!

One thing I will say is that I flew through this book in two sittings. It was definitely an easy read. 
I always love a mystery book and this one did leave you guessing,  although warning: you don’t get any closure at the end so if that isn’t for you, give this one a miss. 
I will admit that I did not see the plot twist coming and it definitely shocked me. 
It was a bit cringeworthy in places (the dialogue mostly) and the main character was infuriating which left you praying for his downfall, but in hindsight that was the point.
