The writing was better than most thrillers I’ve read. It kept me interested and guessing but only because there were so many plot lines. It all fell apart in the last few chapters, the big reveal wasn’t worth reading almost 400 pages.

Written well until the last 5%, after that it becomes cliche and a bit overwritten. 
A lot of telling not showing. 
The ending was lackluster, but I’m glad I read it nonetheless
