No

No

I would’ve given it 2 starts for how mediocre I found the book to be. Maybe it’s not the book’s fault. Maybe I should’ve read this when it came cause I guessed who the killer is by 40-50% of the book. Or maybe I’m not into crime-mystery novels anymore. so many parts in the book felt like old tropes that are used in bollywood movies (i'm indian hence the comparison) Hence, i found the book to be meh!
Nevertheless I still gave it an extra star for how sick and disgusting and twisted the book turns out to be.
