This is an informal review because wtf did I just read haha. Anyways, I've picked this book at a bookstore here in the Philippines because I'm a huge fan of Agatha Christie, whereas at the back of the book, it said "It is the Agatha Christie of our generation" that led me into reading the book because I assumed that it will be like AC vibes. But guess what? It's not.
It's actually an easy read if we based on the wordings used, very understandable, but what gave it away is the redundancy of the phrases. For a thriller book, yes, it should be detailed, but with depth and context
On page 138 (physical book version-hardbound), I had a hunch who would be linked to the crime, and in page 184, my suspicion grew. Guess what? That was the plot twist but why is it so easy to guess? I was hoping it to be more twisted, at least.
Furthermore, 2.5 stars because I enjoyed some parts but it's not enough for me to give 3. I would recommended to the new readers of thriller though.

I would say this is a pretty basic thriller- tense and the audiobook was great, but otherwise the story was pretty average. I figured out the major plot before the halfway point so most of the time spent with this was just purely because I was curious on how it would wrap up and that also was quite average and fairly predictable too.
