Yet another great book from Shari Lapena. It captures your attention right from the beginning and never let's you go till end! Awesome read!!

The writer has uplifted her writing than her first book it has a really wonderful story and it will keep u busy till the last page but the ending is a bit boring other than that a really superb book

The book keeps you on your toes, thriller and fast moving. Good for the people who love mystries.

Kudos to author for having weaves the story with tight suspense and lots of twists. The climax could have been more explicit and powerful

An amazing book. Loved reading it

Still better than her debut novel but a little too easy to guess and predict.

I have only recently been introduced to this author and I absolutely love her writing style. This book did not disappoint! Excellent read.

This one was a great book that unfolded at a perfect pace. What's presented in the first couple chapters is like just surface level and as you go, the layers just keep revealing themselves. I rally enjoy her writing style and the fact that I will ignore everything else to keep reading. It's truly great writing.

A brilliant read with twists and turns. Cleverly written with intrigue and suspense. This author creates a masterpiece. Loved it !

I couldn't put it down, I liked it a lot. Great ending!

Obwohl das Thema zunächst bekannt unvorhersehbar erscheint, wird man doch vom Verlauf der Story eingehüllt und die Spannung bleibt bis zum Schluss bestehen
