I reallyyy enjoyed this one. It’s been a while since I tore through a book in 24 hours but I did that with this one because it was so captivating. It’s also one of the most unique premises for a thriller book that I’ve read in a long time which is very impressive. It’s about a mysterious criminal enterprise called “the chain” where a parent receives a phone call informing them that their child has been kidnapped and they’re now a part of the chain. They need to submit a ransom and kidnap someone else’s child and then have that person submit a ransom and kidnap yet another child before their child will be returned. This keeps the person running the chain’s hands clean and ensures that it continues. It even seemed to be written in such a way that we were supposed to figure out who ran the chain before it was revealed, which was interesting and kind of different. Loved this one.
4.6/5
