Well I can definitely see why this book is so popular and I really enjoyed reading this!.. However I wouldn’t say it was one of my favourites because I think it lacked a little bit in the thrill department. I found this to be such an easy and intriguing read, and I didn’t want to put the book down, because I was desperate to find out why Alicia was silent for so long.

The story is told from the POV of Theo, and also had several diary entries from Alicia, which I really enjoyed as you got to understand Alicia’s mindset leading up to the murder. The more I read the book the more I realised that Theo was unhinged so it was interesting to see that develop. The other secondary characters weren’t that interesting, I think they could have done with abit more development or personality but it didn’t massively impact the story.

The twist.. I wasn’t expecting the twist and it went in a completely different direction to what I thought it would so I was definitely intrigued.. but did I love the twist… no. It didn’t give much drama or add to the thrill element as much as I wanted it too. However it made a lot of sense by the end of the book.

Overall, I would recommend this book, I would lower your expectations if you are expecting a drama filled thriller, as I would say it’s more of a standard fiction. It’s well-written, gripping and an easy read, I’ll definitely be checking out his other books!
