Brilliant book, was not expecting the ending at all! The characters are loveable in a unique way but they are all filled with deceit and a lack of truthfulness. Absolutely captivating, couldn’t put the book down.

Brilliant book, was not expecting the ending at all. Had a great plot and good staging for the characters, you change your opinion constantly throughout the book. Usually with books you can guess the ending however this one had you gripped to find out how everything worked out. This is a good book for someone who likes the deceit of characters but also a story that has depth behind it. I would recommend to anyone.

I found it hard to keep reading during the first half, it was almost a DNF however I persevered and found after I hit the halfway mark, the book started to gain some pace. There isn’t a lot of depth with certain characters making it hard to understand them. I found it jumped straight into the storyline rather than give a backstory.

This book was remarkable although at times it felt like I knew where the storyline was going to end up. It’s quite predictable. However it was an exquisite read and really captivating. Loved every second reading this book.

Very good book, the interesting part is the ability to solve the case yourself alongside the book. It felt like criminal minds in real life.

Watched the series first - that was my first mistake! I loved the twists and turns and how it ended. My second mistake was not reading this book sooner! The characters have depth and have a sense of reality to them. I loved how stereotypical roles had been reversed. Amazing book!!!

I LOVED THIS BOOK! 
There is nothing at fault; the plot was sublime, it was captivating, exhilarating, and a constant page turner. The characters were loveable but at times not loveable, I loved the way this book made me feel. I couldn’t put it down.

I really disliked this book, it was too slow paced, the ending was predictable, the writing was really hard to engage with, it was almost a DNF but I struggled to finish it.
