Look Closer by David Ellis

3.0

I was positive this was going to be a 5-star book, but there was just too much going on. Too much manipulation, too many lies, too many characters with aliases to keep track of. Basically, things were just too over the top for me. And it was too long. If you enjoy super twisty thrillers that are fast paced I would still recommend this one. I did enjoy it, but it does have its faults. Basically this is one of those stories that keep flipping in on itself. You believe one thing just to have the rug pulled from under you time and time again. After a certain point I just expected it. If the book was about 100 pages shorter maybe I wouldn’t have been just waiting for the next flip. Go in knowing it’s a clever domestic suspense with lots of twists and turns. I’m definitely in the minority with my rating.
