Something about this just didn’t sit right with me most of the time reading it. I don’t think I liked Theo as a narrator. I could tell he was unreliable which isn’t always a bad thing as the reader but it felt like the story was curling itself around the plot twist rather than occurring naturally and being surprised by the twist at the end. Not my favorite thriller.
