9 personnes qui ne semblent rien avoir en commun reçoivent une liste avec leurs noms inscrits dessus. Puis, une de ces neuf personnes est tuée. Assez énigmatique. Fort prometteur. Mais encore? Rien. En fait, on suit ces personnes dans leur quotidien, leurs questionnements, leurs ressentis…Puis BAM, une d'elles est tuée rapido presto et on recommence le même manège. Beaucoup de personnages, d’éléments superflus, absence d’actions ou d’avancement dans l’histoire. Et on ne peut pas compter sur la partie du FBI pour faire bouger les choses. On stagne partout. Les courts chapitres et la plume de l’auteur m’ont aidé à garder un certain intérêt jusqu’à la fin mais ce n’est pas un style que j’aime malheureusement.

A unique storyline, took q while to get my head around the 9 characters but is written well which helped. A few twists I wasn't expecting throughout

I actually really hated this book. It was incredibly predictable and boring. It also seemed a little pretentious at some parts. Didn’t enjoy this at all and wouldn’t call this a “thriller”.
