Super fast read and typical Peter book! Few things he revealed right away so that just kept me on the edge of my seat. Love this author so different! Lots unpredictable things going on... I truly enjoyed it!

I was torn between giving this a 3 or 4 start rating. I’d have to say I’d probably give it a 3.5. It was a good book, and it kept me interested and the plot was good. I just found myself at some points wanting to skim past some of the great detail that was written. And at the very end, the twist wasn’t as shocking as I heard it was hyped up to be.

But overall a pretty good mystery!
