Usually the books that have a lot of buzz around them doesn’t attract me, but I was in a bookstore in a different country and I came across it so I told myself to get it and see what all this buzz is about.
After finishing it I would tell you it’s worth all the buzz in the world, the plot twist is undeniably amazing you would never predict it or see it coming.
This novel sets the bar so high for all thriller and mystery novels out there.
