I think this thriller perfectly did what it intended to do. Leads you along one line of thinking then the plot twist happens completely throwing out that previous line of thinking. 
I definitely didn’t see it coming which I loved and I thought the plotting was very good and kept you wanting to know more. 
Minus .5 star because I thought the very end could have been wrapped up with a bit more clarity but otherwise I can see why this is the mystery thriller to read. Perfectly sums up the genre.
