What a ride!

Wow! This book shocked me. I never saw the twist coming. Alex Michaelides has a real talent for writing well-developed characters and complex stories that make you want to like them. If you're looking for a mind twister that's going to take everything you think you know and twist it on it's head, this is the book for you. 

I can't wait to read more of this author's work.
