The Butterfly Assassin by Finn Longman
5.0

What an amazing debut novel. I love dystopian type fiction and this thriller nails it.

A story of abuse, chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and murder may not be to everyone's taste but it is told perfectly, it twists and turns so much I never see what's coming next, and for me, who 99% of the time can guess where a book is heading, I had no clue. I had so many "wtf just happened?!" moments, I lost count of how many times I had to go back to make sure I'd read it right.

Knowing Finn had coeliac before starting to read, and having it myself, I knew where the inspiration for the poison came from, a substance that makes your body attack its only immune system is exactly how gluten attacks a coeliac. A brilliant twist on a poison.

Warning though, don't get to attached to any characters...you just never know if they are what they appear.

Can't wait for the next one!
