I really enjoyed the way these characters lives all interlinked but this one just wasn’t really for me. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of people I would still recommend it too. The writing is good, but I just couldn’t connect with the characters, and so wasn’t really chomping at the bit to find out who killed Daniel and why they did it. I found this one a bit predictable and I could see all the plot twists coming so there was no surprise element in this for me… and I loved a good surprise or shock ending especially in thrillers.
I would still say this is a good book, unfortunately is was just a bit meh for me.
