This was an excellent short story, 1 text, 43 pages and several lives being changed. I loved it.

A short little book that I got on iBooks. I downloaded it as I’d just read another one of this authors books and wanted to try another one. I worked out the conclusion early in the book. I think as it was a short story, it was easier than the previous one that I’d just read, to work it out. For me, it was an okay read.

I got this book during 'Stuff Your Kindle' days, and now I'm regretting making that descision. 
I was really excited to read a short mystery book. I mean, I have never heard a mystery that can be so short that it hardly fits 50 pages. And the blurb of it was so exciting! So I picked it up last night, and I did not even know that I finished it. Well, that's not a good thing.
The story building was great, lovely, suspenseful. But the ending? Why? It was so stupid. I was really racing my brains throughout the book to connect the dots together, but was not expecting such a disastrous ending. 
Stuart was such a red flag from the beginning! I can't believe the whole book was infact about him.
This book is free on Google Play Books and Kindle. For those who are desparately trying to reach their Goodreads reading challenge goal, they can go ahead and read it. But, I will never recommend this book for a fruitful read.

A nice little nugget, nicely crafted and just perfect to read inbetween things.

I don’t mean to sound awful but I don’t get the point in the story.. It just seems to finish rather abruptly!
