Eye for An Eye by M.J. Arlidge
5.0

May change rating after sitting on it but an easy 4.5, maybe 5 star read!

I'm a firm believer against retribution, although I love its representation in media, its usually about the carrying out- not about arguing against it. The entire book is an allegory on how revenge only serves to take away from you, which I very much appreciated. The writing style was incredible, the drama was there and everything came together perfectly. The chapters are staggered with alternating POVs which make for fast and compelling reading. The reveal was mostly concealed, however we were working with a very small suspect pool due to the nature of the leaks and so this is not something that should or did take anything away from the story. Brilliant book!
