So much of drama. The FMC was hot and cold and dumb. She was so bipolar, I had to stop multiple times to breathe. MMC was just ok. Could not connect at all and least chemistry between the characters. It was more like obligation even after reconciliation.

Esme was a total b and I don't know how the FMC could be friends with her. 

Saskia character was well constructed at the start and became annoying. She was dumb with the plan.

Most of the characters were just dumb and the bodyguard alleso was the most lousy one to exist. 😩 

Should have dnf ed but kept going ☠️😣😒

Very good book after a long time. The first half drags with various timelines. 

The book was tecnical and

Simon and Vicky structured to make the kill forensic proof. Very neat

But thoughts about Vicky was that she was really caring about Simon and decided to cheat after 10 years before her anniversary why. It was scripted from there and new she had a personal vengeance with christian.

Simon was just the best character. Could relate to his character a lot.

My suspense ended for me right when Mitchell plot was revealed but the author had a surprise with no marriage twist. Did not see that coming.

Finally woul have been good if these 2 had got together, but fine. The ending was not disappointing.


Jane was another solid character that pretty much spiced up the tension in the book.

Well done. It really did give Agatha Christie vibes here.

Plot revolves around money, lust, infidelity.
