  • An unexpected adventure

    I am an admittedly stubborn reader and rarely venture into thrillers. I read this book on a recommendation and am so glad I did. It is written brilliantly and is quite the ride from beginning to finish. There are some tropes, certainly, but I found them forgivable as the book makes up for it in intelligence and character development. I would recommend to lovers of all genres!
