Lynda is a great author, and tells a vivid and suspenseful story.

For me personally, this one was a bit too drama-driven, and not quite the usual crime-thriller I'm after.

And the rampant mysoginy was so overtly abhorrent. Which is the point. It's literally what Lynda is going for, and she has crafted that part so perfectly that I want to ensure a personal hand in the downfall of so many in the story. But it's left me feeling so angry (again, as intended).

Glad to have read it.

Action packed, intelligent, exciting, with a fair amount of suspense and thrill.

If you've ever watched the movie(s), the differences are stark, and it's sometimes hard to grapple the mental memories and what's taking place in the narrative.

The novel is far darker. In both characters and motives, and in violence.

It's also timeless in many ways. So little has changed with regards to human nature, especially the mega-wealthy.

Overall, sensational!

The story is very well written, and the characters deep and complex. But I don't think the story was my type/style, and I struggled getting through it.

There were definitely some very strong parts where I couldn't put it down, but overall, not for me.
