A Good Read
It took me some time to get into this book. The first person pov and the narrative style put me off for the first few pages and I almost regretted buying it. But then suddenly, I was hooked and could not put it down. The reasoning behind the actions of the villain was a bit unrealistic for me... But overall it is an entertaining read.
Crime thriller novel for non-crime-thriller lovers - not sure where I read that comment about this book but I felt it is so not true. This novel is as boring as any crime novel can get. The ending is just as bad.
I was expecting something so thrilling as the author takes us forward along with the story with too much hype.
