Audio narration was great. Several twists and really good pacing. Would’ve finished faster if we hadn’t been traveling.

Not one of her best books. I figured out major twists very early on and I think the plot struggled by being tied to one, isolated character.

Quite different from other books I've read by this author. This one feels more like an action thriller than an atmospheric mystery à la Agatha Christie, reading more like a summer blockbuster where plausibility takes a back seat to the action sequences. At times, the characters’ behavior feels unnatural and the events are implausible — which, to some extent, might be fitting for the genre — but it’s not something I personally prefer. The narration is solid enough, but repetitive, and the ending is a bit bland and predictable. All in all, it's still a quite enjoyable read.

Zero Days

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
I listened to this audiobook and really enjoyed this fast-paced thriller. It felt like a cat-and-mouse game. Jack is a strong FMC, and her grit and determination keep you rooting for her.
The pacing is great with short chapters, constant danger, and twists that keep you guessing. That said, I figured out part of the plot fairly early. I loved the unique premise, but with the main event happening so soon, the rest of the book felt a bit repetitive. I wish there’d been more build-up at the start to connect with the characters.
