I am mot sure if I liked this book or not. After having read "The housewarming" nothing could surpass it. This book left me feeling uneasy. It was sad, distorted and twisted and made me unhappy.. A good story but too warped for me.

For me this book took a very long time to become interesting and I nearly gave up on it altogether a few times. I decided to continue with it and I am glad I did because it eventually developed into a an absolutely fascinating and very gripping thriller with a genuinely surprising twist at the end, but for me it just took a very long time to get going.

This book was definitely not my cup of tea. I thought it had a good storyline but wasn't executed properly. It was so slow throughout the whole entire book. I did enjoy the the last few chapters as the story finally made sense. You finally get to know who the person is telling the story and finally get to know the truth of what Christopher did. I'm not quite sure why they had all the references about Jack the Ripper as it really didn't fit well with the storyline. I got the references but really wasn't needed. I needed something more than this book offered. Maybe more edge of your seat thrills rather than the snooze fest it offered. It was very hard to get through. I hope someone else can see what I didn't see in this book. Happy reading!!!
