4.0

Picked this up after watching movies based on the similar storyline. This isn't your basic mystery book where you are trying to catch the killer.  This is almost a psychological thriller where you have most of the details right at the beginning. The actual thrill is in spinning the right cover-up, telling the apt lies and getting away from the cops. In the last few pages, the reader is up for another twist that brings up a fitting finale to the thriller. On the whole, this book is an amazing murder mystery, well written story with memorable characters.
