Customer Reviews

Great and well written book

I liked this book, it was nice to read a book where you didn’t have the book already figured out. The plot twist was actually different than most of the books I’ve read. The book was far from boring. I was able to finish the book within 2 days so not bad.

I may have a new favourite book

This is so well-written and so passionate that it made me cry--UGLY cry--at several points. The story is predictable at times, but I remained entranced by it anyway.

I loved this book so very good !!!

Loved the suspense kept you on the edge of your seat. So good

Boring

I was really excited to read this book based on the description but it was disappointing. It was a slow read with no twists and turns. The short chapters have you jumping from character to character with nothing interesting happening in the first 200 pages.

NOT a next Gone Girl

I really wanted to like this book - but couldn't. It's NOT a next Gone Girl. Halfway through the book I wanted to give up but I finished it. The first half was quite slow paced and somehow I couldn't connect with ANY of the characters. The second half was better (finally something happened!) but not a real gamechanger. I didn't see this ending coming but it was mainly because I just didn't care? I don't think it's the story I didn't like, it's the people in the book.

This book was well written and kept you guessing until the very last page with a HUGE plot twist at the end!!! One of Marys best books

Not Good (Girl)

This is one of the few books I have ordered that I couldn't read. I got the gist of the story and read the first few chapters, but it just seemed like a bad copy of a lot of other well written books that I have read. The parents are wealthy, she is living alone and comes up missing. She made a mistake with a one-night stand and is kidnapped and held by this man. If it were well written I would have finished it, but to me it was too scattered with the back and forth between the different characters and the before and after. Some writers do this well, this author doesn't.

Great book!!

Good read! It truly kept me on the edge of my chair! I'm definitely going to read Kubica's other books!

Must Read Book

It has been a long time since I found a book I actually wanted to finish. I'm extremely busy and reading isn't a top priority, although I love it. I found this book at the airport and quickly chose it off the best sellers shelf. I found myself wanting down time on my vacation just to continue to read. When I wasn't reading this book, I was thinking about it. Read this book, it's so much better than Gone Girl!!
