Review-
Thumbs Up-
●The story has the right amount of drama and suspense.The build up was at a perfect pace.
●All the settings and descriptions of the scenes added extra flavour. The characters were complex enough to keep the readers hooked.
●There were several twists and turns that were expected from a best selling author like Chamberlain.
Thumbs Down-
◆The story though gripping was a tad bit long.
◆The final twists were very much predictable(especially for thriller experts)
Personal Views-
Being a thriller lover it was a good read, though not great enough. Why? As I mentioned, I was able to figure out the two major twists and that was where it lost further credibility of being a perfect thriller. All over it was an entertaining read much better than other thrillers.
