Persevere

It took me quite a while to get into this book but I persevered and the ending was totally worth it

Great read

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love Claire’s style of writing and really feel as though I’m there, in the book, not just reading it. I was on the edge of my seat from very early on and would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good whodunnit/thriller
