Review:
So, if this had been the first book I'd read by Mackintosh, I probably would've enjoyed this more than I did. This is the third book by her that I've read and to be honest, I felt like the characters in this book were very similar to the characters I've met in her other books and some of the twists this author is so famous for, I could see a mile off.
One thing I did love about this particular book though was the perspective of the detective in this. I almost wish the whole book had only been his perspective, because I loved reading about him, his life and the way he works. The rest of the characters though, I found hard to really get connected to. To me, they weren't particularly well rounded at all.
There is something very entertaining about all the twists in this book, but some of them felt quite unrealistic to me (and I can usually stretch pretty far when it comes to this). I also think there's a lot of unnecessary and repetitive stuff in between; some parts are just outright boring.
I do think if you like books like the ones Mackintosh writes, you will probably enjoy this. This being the third book I've read by her though, I'm getting a little tired of reading what feels like the same thing over and over.
