This book was unexpectedly wild and captivating! The story was so believable and suspenseful, leaving you on the edge of your seat. Just imagine being a bookworm like yourself, suddenly going missing. Who would notice your absence? Who would be the first to realize you were gone?
For a first attempt at a psychological thriller, this book was truly remarkable! I found myself unable to set it down, completely engrossed in the plot. The unexpected twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end, without any last-minute hints to spoil the surprise. I don't want to give too much away.
The characters were well-developed and likable, adding depth to the story. The book had a great flow, drawing me in from the very beginning. The locked room setting was eerie and realistic, adding to the overall suspense. The ending! I can't believe the ending! It was smooth!!!
In conclusion, this book is perfect for fans of locked room mysteries or anyone looking to dip their toes into the thriller genre. I highly recommend this as a must-read for anyone seeking an exciting and engaging story.

This is my initial experience with a book by this particular author. Personally, I found it to be a slow-burning narrative that gradually unfolded. While my interest was piqued from the start, I found myself 70% through the book before fully grasping the plot. Despite this, I remained engaged and intrigued throughout, even though the storyline remained somewhat elusive. The author's unique writing style featured a gradual buildup leading to a sudden, rapid conclusion.
The main character, while not particularly endearing, came across as somewhat whiny in my opinion. The ending proved to be unexpected, with several surprising twists. Overall, this book provided a low-key yet fast-paced read.
