One of the best thrillers I've read so far. I was hooked from the better beginning. The chronology, how the chapters are set, the verbiage, everything in this book was magnificent. I had no idea of who the killer could be until the very end that I had a hint, and I was wrong.  There was no way I could have guessed. And the ending... that ending... everything was set so smoothly. I absolutely loved it. I understand the hype now and it was worth it. Totally recommend.
