3.5/5

The first 40-50 pages were a rollercoaster ride, I kept turning pages like a madman. The beginning really sucked me in and I thought the rest of the story was going to be as jaw-dropping as the first pages. Unfortunately it wasn't.

All of a sudden, the suspense and mystery vanished without a trace and I found myself rather bored in the middle of the story.

Nevertheless, I liked how Shari Lapena switched between different narrators to unfurl the twists. It made the story a bit more dynamic.

The plot itself is fairly predictable at times, with a couple of twists you can really see coming. However, it somehow keeps your attention till the end.
