What was the motive behind the murders? Who was the mastermind behind the murders ? How do they the solve the case of these perfectly committed crimes makes the storyline
The story line was promising,but the writing was bad. There was no surprise element in the story. The characterisation could have been better. The few things that were told about characters were repeated over and over again. There were no twist and turns to the story and I had to force myself to finish the book. The ending of the story was abrupt and did not do justice to the story at all.
I would rate the book 2.5/5
