The plot sounds intriguing indeed. Just a shame that the book did not obtain the full score.

Hmm, I like the premise of the book. I am also glad you mention that there were a few unrealistic parts. That always frustrates me when I read a book. Great review :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

The plot may seems great but with a bad character arc, it all falls apart.
And no one wants to invest in a story with so many loopholes.
Great review!

I love mystery books that provoke you to discover the real villain. I was sad to discover the negative points, though. I don't believe that people can really change. However, it seems like an intriguing read, and I am curious to discover what happens next. Thank you for your honest and balanced review!

Your review is detailed and engaging. But for the believeability concerns, the plot seems to be captivating and one I'd be interested in.

I found, though, that if you can put aside the believability issue, it is quite an interesting story. Thanks for the comments!
