My Thoughts:
The plot is intriguing and will keep the readers on the edge of their seats throughout the book. The author has done an excellent job of not revealing any information to the readers in the initial stages of the book though the suspense is there right in the first few pages. This book was a page turner for me. Each page triggers the curiosity of the readers as to what is going to happen next.
The narration is done beautifully. The book is mostly set in London and the author has described the places and the situations spot on. The book is a suspense thriller and the author has done complete justice to the genre.
The characters are well-developed, especially Sandy, a brave and determined girl who doesn’t stop at anything. I liked the fact that Sandy is ready to risk her life to save all the innocent people and the wrong-doings that are happening to them. The other characters are also well- developed that we also get to see the psyche of people, especially of those with criminal minds.
The language is simple and lucid and the readers will not find any difficulty while reading the book.
Overall, I would say that I loved reading the book and would surely recommend it to all, especially someone who wants to read a suspense thriller.
My Rating: 5/5
