A true thriller in that the psychologist ends up being the mysterious man that propelled the wife to murder Gabriel, her husband. Why? Because Gabriel was sleeping with his wife.

This one is hyped up and while it was good, I think I was expecting more. Don’t get me wrong, still a great book and worth the read!! Very creative writing for sure!!

This book surprised me. I was eager to get to the end, but it did not end as expected. The character's description was so vivid that I could visualize the face. It was such a great read.

This book really drew me in with its intriguing layers and how Michaelides skillfully wove them into the story. I loved the way Greek tragedy was incorporated throughout—it added so much depth and made the narrative richer. The only downside for me was the ending, which felt a bit hard to believe. That’s the only reason I didn't give it a full five stars.
