Read if you are OK with ambiguous endings.. It was a good story but ending was disappointing. Not my cup of tea. Not knowing the ending is already there in real life.. I don't want that in the books I read too..

One of the best thrillers I read this year.

The writer kept it very crisp. Though there were loose ends, they were left out as self implied ends to avoid unnecessary rambling. Loved it!

I actually liked this book. The mystery & thrill was there for me . I absolutely loved the small time vibes it had & the dark secrets everyone kept. But the ending was not satisfying for me, it just made me think it was lacking a chapter, something to tie it up together.The characters were fleshed out for us to either love or hate them. The plot was also good, even though I had guessed some of them. Overall a cosy read.

The plot was good and was really a page turner, but the ending was unsatisfactory. The ending was also not like the ones where it was left to the reader’s imagination but more of like the book was missing a page.

A great thriller, very good plot and more importantly, a perfect page turner - never a dull moment!Suspense is good with nice twists, though not completely unpredictable. I am ok with endings which are left hanging and which are open for interpretation but in this book, the concluding scene (before epilog) also feels abrupt, still rating 5* as this aspect doesn't hamper the overall great experience.
