Ugh another one that I'd probably have loved if only I read it as soon as I bought it lol

I'm determined to clear as many books off my physical TBR shelf and this one appears to have been around for over a decade! I literally have had to dust it off. My taste has just changed so much over the years and I'm just not keen for psychological thriller as such. The cover of my book has a quote 'The Japanese Stieg Larsson' so I was a bit excited as I loved Lisbeth! And while I can see the reason behind this quote, it just wasn't the same... 

The first chapter was actually quite engaging but also annoying because seriously, there is a defence for this. And then, the deception just went on and on and this 'Detective Galileo' was playing it so cool and mysterious (sorry, buddy, you are not Hercule Poirot), I kind of got bored. When the deception started to unravel, the showdown was a little bit ridiculous. And while the twist was pretty good, they've already lost me so I couldn't really cheer for it either! Maybe it's me...

However, by the end, I really truly appreciated this title!
