Summary of this Book...
Let me start with the negatives: the editor doesn’t seem to have done a great job. There are numerous typos/grammar issues/adverbs & adjectives. I don’t know whether the typos are more an issue of whomever transferred this to Kindle. It’s possible. Overall, though, it gave the book a fairly unprofessional feeling.

The plot ... there is a major plot twist at 60% through the book. It changes everything, and it meant I was reading a very different story to the one I had previously thought. Honestly, it annoyed me at first. I lost a lot of sympathy for the main character.

The ending, I felt, didn’t have as big an impact as I’d hoped. It kind of fizzled out. Plus, the big scene at the end annoyed me because I kept thinking surely no one is that thick; that slow to catch on. It frustrated me.

I also didn’t feel enough of the plot was resolved fully.

Now, for the good parts: the author does create tension really nicely. A lot of the book has me on the edge of my seat. Also, the big twist ... it did annoy me at first, but it also took the book in a more unique direction. And, you know what? I read until the end. I was interested enough to keep reading (although I did put it down for a couple of days after the plot twist).

So, on the whole. It works as a psychological thriller. It does mess with your mind. But I’ve read better.
This type of Book is good for...
People no love twisty psychological thrillers that are quite dark.
I didn't like...
The editing. The plot twist. The unbelievable character of Harriet at the end.
This Book made me feel...
Actually, it made me angry a lot of the time. Especially after the twist. The poor editing, or lack of editing in places, made me annoyed as well.
I recommend this Book because...
I’m not really sure I do.
I don't recommend this Book because...
There are much better books in this genre that you could read.
