I got this book during 'Stuff Your Kindle' days, and now I'm regretting making that descision. 
I was really excited to read a short mystery book. I mean, I have never heard a mystery that can be so short that it hardly fits 50 pages. And the blurb of it was so exciting! So I picked it up last night, and I did not even know that I finished it. Well, that's not a good thing.
The story building was great, lovely, suspenseful. But the ending? Why? It was so stupid. I was really racing my brains throughout the book to connect the dots together, but was not expecting such a disastrous ending. 
Stuart was such a red flag from the beginning! I can't believe the whole book was infact about him.
This book is free on Google Play Books and Kindle. For those who are desparately trying to reach their Goodreads reading challenge goal, they can go ahead and read it. But, I will never recommend this book for a fruitful read.
