Amazing but heartbreaking reading.
Loved this, couldn’t put it down
They made it into a movie starring Daniel Craig. What else do you need to know?
Easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. Incredibly compelling characters and storytelling. Truly a page-turner.
Slow-moving first half but hang in there because the ending is great and made me want to read the rest of the series!
Excellent book. Audio book good too. Shared with sister on a road trip and sometimes we just drove around the block when we reached our destination to get to a spot in the story where we could stop for a while. It was a must to buy the other two books by this author about these characters. Highly recommend this novel.
Was put off by all the hype about this book but when I read it was pleased that I did. The story twists and turns and it is a well written book and worth the time to read and enjoy it
EXCELLENT

I couldn’t put it down.
Great read.
Slow at times, but we’ll developed characters and worth the effort.
Could not put it down.
It took me a while to get into it but then I couldn’t put it down. Later I would find myself thinking about a scene or a character.
Amazing writing that really made me want more
