3.5 ⭐️, mặc dù mình không thích cái cảm giác ngột ngạt ghê rợn nó đem lại. Sách về tâm lý nhiều hơn là trinh thám, không quan trọng việc đi tìm chứng cứ và phá án, chỉ ngồi chờ sự việc lộ ra. Đọc 1/3 quyển là đã lờ mờ đoán được hung thủ. Twist phút chót, cũng hợp lý logic.
Đây là tác phẩm đầu tay nên khó có thể so sánh với Gone girl.

A book with very twisted and dark characters. Trigger warning on cutting.

This book reads as though it’s been made sickly. Not in a weak way; in a fever-dream mania that disquiets you, concerns you. The characters feel infected and unhinged by it, too, of course, this toxic wrongness.

Which I love.

Flynn has the uncanny ability of fashioning living people from a bit of paper and a few pulses of ink. They feel solid and respiring, breathing down your neck as you pant onto the pages. It’s exquisite.

Really more of a 4.5 stars. I couldn’t give it 5 because the ending didn’t hit me like I wanted it to. Swung a bit too low to be a sucker punch.
