Creepy but a great page turner with dual timeline…
From the blurb I didn’t understand this was going to be a horror book but a domestic thriller. But it was amazing read with a very bad and creepy serial killer, a haunted motel

The idea of the book is different but sometimes it’s so frustrating but mostly it a warm romantic enjoyable story

Loved Mack and Liv and their banter. It was so perfect. Even though the issue dealt in the book was so serious it managed have so many comic funny moments that instantly brings a smile to the face…

I cannot say I liked this book, somehow it didn’t remind me of the few original Hercule Poirot books I read…
The mystery was good but it somehow didn’t make love it.

This was one of the books which I first bought but somehow I was not able to read this book for 2 years because I was unable to move past the first 3-4 pages. But one day I put me through the initial pages and then I found myself unable to keep this down. The interest was spiked because of the fact this was a real story, a real gruesome murder

This was my first book in Gabriel Allon series. I randomly picked up this book. I did not know there where other books in this series but it did not stop me from getting along the books. Even though there is a lot of history for the character it will not stop us from enjoying this book. Even though most of the things are predictable in my opinion it happened not in the order I anticipated so for me that is a big thing. It is a very good read. I am planning to get other books in the series.

This was not the most gruesome book I read but still, it gave me nightmares for days. This book can keep you in de, we just kind of wait to see what is going to happen next.
