Full of plot twists. The book is made up of at least 5 completely different situations which, as the story progresses, intertwine creating 2 main events, perfectly connected to each other.
Although I found it boring at times, the text is very smooth and pleasant to read.

Bk2 of my #MrBook1InAMillion #LitsyPartyOfOne #24B4Monday #readathon is done! While I did enjoy the story & the characters in this, I felt the ending was a bit rushed. It was one of those endings that felt like 5 chapters stuffed into 2(y‘all know what I mean)Still, it was not a bad way to spend a few hours. Hours stuck in bed coz my back decided today was a good day to lock up & go into spasm. Yay. At least I have plenty of reading material!

Lynnsoprano Oh, no! Hi hope it feels better soon. You‘re blowing everybody away with that reading time, tho. 😘 5y
Andrew65 Oh no!!! Just been through that with my wife who has had similar problems. 5y
Lizpixie @Lynnsoprano thanks! At least it gives me an excuse to do nothing but read, could do without the pain though😫 @Andrew65 I hope your wife is ok now, it sucks when it happens. It‘s not just the pain, though that‘s not fun, it‘s the being dependent on other people to do everything for you. It‘s demoralising. Thank god for reading. And the hubby. Him too😋 5y

Icecream break! I‘m about 3/4 finished with my 2nd book of my #MrBook1InAMillion #LitsyPartyOfOne #24B4Monday #readathon weekend. Phew, that‘s a mouthful. Definitely in cruising gear with my reading, don‘t know what to read next though. Should I stick with thrillers or switch it up again?🤔 Either way, I‘m going to enjoy my Salted Caramel & choc coated Hazelnuts icecream🍨

Ladyval05 I don‘t know what to recommend to read next, but I know that ice cream flavor sounds delicious! 🍦 5y
ljuliel That ice cream sure sounds good. And it sure looks like you‘ll easily get the 24 hours ! 5y
Andrew65 I always think the pace of thrillers or detective books is good for readathons. Impressive time as ever. 👏👏👏🙌👍😍 5y

Oops. I slept in just a bit(well, a lot)so I‘m only just starting today‘s section of #MrBook1InAMillion #24B4Monday #readathon & #LitsyPartyOfOne Kicking off with this rather battered library copy of Linwood Barclays 2nd novel about a violent home invasion that ends with an entire family dead. But what if the killers got the wrong house? I‘m sitting at just over 18hrs so far, let‘s see how many I can get today! #letsdothis

Andrew65 This was my first Barclay, and was totally hooked on him as an author ever since. 5y
Clwojick Oh, okay. Going to just go ahead and stack this one as well. Thank you. 😏 5y
