Everybody said to read it for the ending, but even the ending didn't save it. I'm sorry, this was a slog.

I have to admit that the first part got me engaged. But then it became predictable, and the actions of the main character weren't keeping me interested. Even though the ending was easy to guess, I liked the prologue.

Pairs excellently with “Who Is the Bad Art Friend?”

All through the book I had a feeling of déjà lu
A bit too slow and predictable. I guess it makes sense that both the crime and the action will be quite mild in a “literary thriller”. Add to that a hero that we can't really like. That's a lots of challenges the author set for himself.

I loved the plot, the characters and dialogue- especially the internal monologue. Only 3 stars because not quite a hundred pages in I knew who the “bad guy” was.

Heard tons of hype about this book and for me, it lived up to that hype in every way. Great read.

The stealing part was not what I expected. The investigation did not go as expected, but the ending blew my mind. I can't say too much more because it don't want to spoil anything.

A strong start and then becomes extremely predictable. I figured out what happened half way through the book and the ending was just a bond villain speech that was redundant because ironically the “plot” was so predictable it didn't require explanation.

I did listen to the whole book even after I figured out the ending, so yes, I am calling the book predictable. I was hoping for a real twist to prove me wrong. The editing could of been much tighter, parts were very repetitive and slogged it down.

Decent story and well-paced and yet undeniably predictable. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed. Still worth a read on the beach.
