3.0

This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I, quite literally, couldn’t put it down. The plot twist was satisfyingly shocking, but with every single character being suspicious (including characters that had absolutely nothing to do with the plot) there are very few chances to make educated predictions about the whodunnit of it all. Plus, all the women in this book are all easily manipulated idiots which doesn’t make for a totally enjoyable read. But despite all of this, it still kept me up late turning page after page.
