5.0

The emotional turmoil of the characters seeped in for the readers, and it didn't fail to capture my full attention. It's really interesting to see the heroine's investigation process unfold, though the thrilling and mysterious element is never lost, passing by as a mere subtle hint, which makes up the whole plot. This time it ended up in a grieving manner, with some part of yourself somewhat filled with void, which makes it even more engrossing to read. It makes you want to be excited what the third book will be about, as there are loose ends from this one.

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.

It started a bit slower than the first book in the trilogy but definitely made up for that at the end. Again just an amazing book with so many twists.
