4.5

This has been on my list for a few years now, and it didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed the structure and mystery elements of this one. While the characters were mostly unlikable, it was by design, which made them interesting. I wish I hadn’t seen the movie first, but that’s not the book’s fault. 

If you’re a fan of mystery and dark characters, this is a must.
