Financial thrillers usually aren’t my thing, but Marshall has absolutely blown me away with this captivating, nuanced thriller. Marshall did an excellent job of bringing the characters and setting to life, I felt like I was watching a movie unfold in front of me as I read. I became more invested in the lives of the MCs than I thought possible. They certainly aren’t people I’d expect to ever run into in my everyday life, and although I found it hard to like some of them, I was absolutely wrapped up in their stories. Hats off to Marshall for being able to pull that off, it’s quite the feat. The way the dual plots wove together was an absolute masterpiece, and it feels like you’re just waiting for the collision to happen. I cannot recommend this enough if you enjoy thrillers, even if financial ones aren’t usually up your alley, because you won’t be disappointed! ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
