4.0
One of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read, with an amazing plot twist that left me hanging with my eyes wide opened like I had seen a ghost. To think that this is Michaelides' first novel makes you wonder what he could be possible to achieve on his next work. Absolutely breath-taking!
