4.5
Mystery is not my usual genre but I really liked this book. While the main character made questionable decisions, it didn't frustrate me, which I believe speaks to the writing style that Sager uses.
I really liked that there were really unexpected twists and turns, some completely blew me away and made the reading experience a lot of fun. This is one of those books that upon re-reading it will be even more satisfying to find all the clues and nods to what things really meant at the time.
I'd recommend!
