This was an excellent thriller! It had a twist at the end that I did not see coming AT ALL! I had two possible theories that I thought would play out at the end, and both were wrong.
I was hesitant about this title for some reason, but it sure delivered! The writing style was very easy to follow and the author did a great job of pacing the story to keep you interested without giving away too much along the way. The writing style was easy to read, and the author did a great job of setting the scene with their descriptions without being overly descriptive. I really enjoyed the scientific and neuropsychological aspects of the story as well, since I am studying some of this in my current course for my Masters degree and it was really neat to see some of the things I have been learning used in this context. The author did a great job explaining complex psychological and neurological topics in an easy-to-digest way so you fully understood what the characters were talking about which I really appreciated.
This novel was very, very good and I highly recommend it!
