Not too bad

"I've had this book on my shelf for way too long and it was time to read it. Let's start with do NOT waste your time with the audiobook for this, it suck's. Now for the book, not a horrible read and kept me interested. Took me two days to read it cause I didn't want to put the book down. But it is repetitive in some parts which I found that it got dull. I did finish it and definitely didn't predict the last part of book."

Amazing Mind Thriller

Kaelyn (5/5)

Great gift!

"Got this as a gift for my partner’s mother and she loved it."

Minny (5/5)

Definitely a page turner

"I was definitely a bit intimidated by this book at first since it is relatively a big book but once I got started, it kept me very engaged. At first, it started off a bit slow but the description of the situation and characters helps play into the mystery as a whole. The writing makes it easy to read and once you get past the first portion, it is easy to stay engaged. Great book by AJ Finn and I will be on the look out for anything new by him."

Boring and Slow

"I’m very confused how this book has good reviews. It starts out incredibly slow. It barely picks up. The writing isn’t great and it’s boring and just plain silly. Definitely not a thriller I would recommend. I only kept reading it because a movie based on this book is coming out soon so I figured it must get good. . . . it didn’t."

Michelle (3/5)

Suspenseful

"Great Read! Loved the book the whole way through an did not expect the twist in the story ."

Victoria (5/5)

Wow!!

"This book builds slowly at the beginning but you need that to meet all the characters. 1/2 way through it takes off and doesn’t stop. It was amazing!!! A definite must read again."

Suzanne (5/5)

Highly recommend!

"Fantastic thriller. It builds slowly -- as a reader, you get acquainted with the narrator, Dr. Anna Fox, and come to feel her low energy as your own, and get accustomed to her self-destructiveness. The triggering event - a murder she witnesses - doesn't happen immediately, so you have to be patient and trust in the author that there's a reason why the build-up is so long. The fact that Dr. Fox is a child psychologist is especially interesting to me, and fellow psychologists will appreciate that the author clearly did his research and knew how to portray the work accurately. Finally, I especially loved the backdrop of classic film noirs, mirroring the paradoxically boring suspense that Hitchcock was such a master at crafting. Nothing is happening, you are nervous, and then you're bored, and then you're nervous, and so on, until finally the story unfolds."
