It was another good read, I like the way it all ties in with the series of books. My only disappointment was the ending, it was definitely a good plot twist but I felt as if it was rushed towards the end.

This book was gripping from start to finish, struggled to put it down! I didn’t think it would top ‘the housemaid’ but it was just as, if not more thrilling than the first one.

Intrigued in the story line from the beginning, was not expecting it to take such a twist over half way through. Intensely thrilling book, made me want to start the second one straight away!

Some parts of the book are shockingly explicit and unexpected. Definitely an intense thriller, worth the read.

Thrilling book, once the story line started unraveling I couldn’t stop reading. Worth it if you’re into thrillers.
