My Thoughts:

                The plot is well written and it will surely keep the readers on edge throughout the book. It was really shocking to see the way in which the murder had been done. The constant chase of the murderer was also described in such a way that it felt that the incidences are taking place in front of our eye.

                The characters are well developed and we get to see how people mostly think for their own benefits. There were a few characters that didn’t have much part to play in the story but overall              each of them has made the story interesting.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is nicely done. The pace of the story is perfect and makes the story interesting.

                The book cover is interesting and apt to the plot. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

Overall, the book was very interesting and people who love to read murder mysteries will surely enjoy this book a lot.

Rating: 4/5
