This book didn’t grab me enough. It was a basic plot, and predictable storyline. Same old mystery plot. Super smart investigator, a homicide. Police in over their heads. Nothing new here.

This book dragged for me and it didn’t draw me in. Characters unlikeable, plot boring and I didn’t find that it fell into the mystery or thriller category. Opinions may vary! Others may love it and that is great, too!

This was not a book that I felt connected to. I did not personally enjoy it, but it may be a better fit for another reader.

Thoroughly enjoyed this read. The writing style was fantastic and made me feel immersed in the characters world, emotions and experiences. Only downside is I wanted more from the ending, although it is more about the journey than the destination reading this book.

I'm not too sure what to make of this book. I was relieved to have finally finished it.
The story just didn't grab me and I felt it dragged until the last few chapters and then all the action occurred, but the final ending was not satisfactory enough for me.
I was disappointed as I was expecting so much more.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

The writing had me captivated from the start to finish, and I found myself reading it almost straight through one sitting. I look forward to reading more by this author.

This book was good for the most part, however I just couldn’t connect with the writing style. The dialogue just felt too long and repetitive in my opinion. Maybe this just wasn’t for me.

This book was good., it just maybe wasn't for me. I felt that the dialogue was often too long. There was lots of talking about things happening and not things actually happening. The ending was what sold me though as it was thought out and satisfying.

I really tried and wanted to like this book but I just couldn’t get into the storyline.
Character interaction is too unbelievable, I’m sorry but I didn’t enjoy the writing story and the internal dialogue of Anna was boring.
Unfortunately this is a DNF for me. Thank you for the advance copy #netgalley

Incredibly gripping. Perfect for fans of mystery and suspense. I found the writing style to be really beautiful aswell. Between that and a refreshingly exciting story, this book was such an easy read.

I thank @ojlovaz for sending me free ebook of his novel that released in August 2021 in exchange for my review.

The prologue got me excited - Murder in a sleepy town and a beautiful girl turning up in a library where not a single soul pays a visit. Rest of the story went ahead and finally I could put two and two together.

While I felt the premise was good, the ending felt a bit disappointing to me. May be I was expecting some thriller moments and story was different. I would also say that writing style could have been better, and that author could’ve kept same pace throughout the book that he did in the prologue. Although I didn’t find the story strong enough, it has addressed some social issues that still concern in the society which need to be addressed.

I did finish this, but not sure why. Plot and character development were lacking and the "family secrets" were predictable.
