The writing style was beautifully written and the first half of the book had a really good plot to follow. However I felt the last half of the book trailed off into a completely new plot that didn’t quite match the first half. For that reason, this book didn’t quite reach my thriller expectations overall, but I did love the first half and the writing style.
