Der Aufbau der Story war mal was anderes, aber das Motiv der Mörderin/des Mörders war völlig absurd.. möchte fast sagen: bescheuert. 🙈
That epilogue was one of the worst “twists”I have ever read. After 75% you knew the entire solution. The foreshadowing was so unbelievably obvious I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be foreshadowing instead of just telling you the entire plot. There’s also a long and stupid villainous monologue, but their motivations still don’t make any sense after that.
First off I have to say that I have not read many thrillers in my life. I picked this one up for a bookclub since my goal is to try out different genres. I listend to it on audiobook and the narrator did an alright job with this. He read many of the characters exactly the same way to it was hard to distinguish them but there are so many characters in this book that I think it would be a pretty tall order to do this. The premise of this book sounded great and I was intrigued. Normally I would list some positive things but I’m having a hard time to think of one since it really felt bland to me. The main problems I had with this were : 1. The introduction to all the different characters right at the beginning. It felt kind of repetitive and wasn’t that great to read. 2. The mystery was very poorly written. I told you in the beginning of the review I don’t usually read thriller so I’m not practiced with guessing what the twist is. That being said I immediately knew what happened and was really disappointed by the reveal. 3. I felt no connection to any of the characters so I didn’t really care who died or lived. 4. The Epilog was unnecessary. Seriously why?! I would not recommend it but I’m really curious what the rest of the bookclub will say about this one
Phew....I honestly found the story to be so mediocre.. It wasn't necessarily exciting and I feel like the author could have done so much more with the different characters. Also the motive was just dumb in my opinion. 2 starts because of Jessica and because the writing was nice at times.
