The book is divided into three parts - the event, the investigation and the aftermath and all three are very exciting but also very insightful when it comes to human psychology. I literally couldn't stop reading and got into the story only after a few pages! The author goes deeper and deeper, keeps you guessing and doesn't reveal all of the secrets right until the end. It is a real page turner and I'd really recommend it to anyone in a search for a good read! 5 stars</span></p> <p> </p>
