This book was a wild ride from the beginning. Molly - who lives in London, who seems to be very straightforward and OCD and paranoid - has to fly to New York because her twin sister was murdered. Now obviously she has some issues with flying, being in a new city and not having her comforts. She was very unlikable to me and this made it hard to get into the story.

Once Molly started getting on the case of who killed her sister, that's when it started to get interesting. There are plenty of twists and turns in this one, some I guessed, some I didn't guess. But for me it just seemed way too over the top. Like imagine if Hallmark decided to make violent thrillers, that type of thing.

The book takes on the typical case of a sister trying to look into her twin's death. But then at one point things change - and for me, it wasn't in the best way. Twists and turns are coming out of every chapter and then towards the end they really ramped up. The main twist was one I saw coming from a mile away. But overall, once the twists started coming it all started falling apart. None of it really made sense as to why she was making the choices she did and how any of it really even happened.

I can't say anything without giving away the whole plot - but I still honestly don't know why the things happened that they did. Overall, a 3-star read. Decent thriller that kept me wanting to see what happened, but it just made me angry when I did.
