4.0

I had no idea what to expect when I started reading this book, I found it while browsing the Heathrow Airport bookshop and the title reminded me of the other book of hers that I have read. So I when I discovered it was in fact the same author I got excited. I began to read it right away and I was hooked from page one. 
I tried to figure out who the real killer was, which it turned out I was wrong about, but there were some other theories of mine that turned out to be true, which I really loved. 

a+ writing.
