Really disappointed by this one.
Started off fairly well but I found that I just didn’t get into the story. I sortof felt like the author was relying on the shock factor of such a graphic topic. Which is fine and I usually love intense stories, but I wasn’t invested in who the murderer was. And I didn’t particularly care when I found out. I didn’t really feel any suspense at any time and the relationship between Sarah and Will really annoyed me and I found it quite immature. Maybe my 2.75 is a bit harsh, it might deserve a 3 but I think this one was a bit of a miss for me!
