Despite my 3 star rating, I really liked this book. The writing is exciting and I was hooked from page one, I just thought that the “big twist” at the end was a let down. But read the book because lots of others have loved it and it is truly very well written.
Unfortunately, I didn't think this story was original. It reminded me of another popular thriller, and I just felt underwhelmed.
I did think the storyline was interesting enough that it kept me curious, but I don't think it resembles a thriller, it's more of slow-burn suspense. Also, I did enjoy the psychology involved; I've always been interested in the study of one’s mind and behavior.
