Journal Entry 1 by LouiseB79 from Malton, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Friday, October 15, 2021
Bought cheaply for BookCrossing purposes.
I'm still not sure whether or not I enjoyed this one. On the one hand, it took a direction that I wasn't expecting at all, and it's not easy to produce a surprising storyline in such a saturated market. BUT it's yet another of these thrillers which falls into the "let's throw in one last implausible twist right at the end, just to test your ability to suspend disbelief" category, and sort of ruins the book in doing so. It's as if authors now think that a single "twist" is no longer enough and they have to be piled up one on top of another or the reader's attention span will break. I wouldn't mind reading something a bit more pared back once in a while.
