Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[",2019,"4.08",13,338,[152],{"id":153,"slug":154,"name":155},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[157,158,159,160,161],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":167,"themes":168,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,88,87],[169],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":171,"slug":172,"title":173,"description":174,"primary_cover_url":175,"cover_blurhash":176,"first_publish_year":177,"community_rating_avg":178,"community_rating_count":79,"page_count":179,"authors":180,"genres":182,"series":196,"enrichment":199},"01kjq7nras6zteqkynzng3ffbc","the-da-vinci-code-zcmz","The Da Vinci Code","Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is jolted awake in Paris by a late-night call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body arranged in a strange pose and ringed by baffling ciphers.

With the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu—the dead man's estranged granddaughter—he flees into the Paris night, following a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.\n\nWhat begins as a murder investigation opens onto a far older secret. The pair chase a chain of riddles that leads through art, history, and the coded traditions of a shadowy brotherhood, pursued both by the French police and by a devout, self-punishing assassin acting on orders he believes are holy. As the clues accumulate, Langdon and Sophie edge toward a revelation that a powerful institution has spent two thousand years trying to bury—one that could reshape how millions understand faith and history.\n\nA breathless overnight chase across Paris and London, The Da Vinci Code weaves cryptography, symbology, and religious history into a puzzle-driven thriller.

Everyone knows the story: her boyfriend, Sal Singh, killed her and then took his own life. The case is closed. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi has never quite believed it. When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{","4.10",416,[213],{"id":214,"slug":215,"name":216},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[218,219,220,221,222,226],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":19},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":19},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[231],{"id":232,"slug":233,"name":206,"position":69,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":235,"mood":236,"themes":237,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[88,87,89],[],{"id":239,"slug":240,"title":241,"description":242,"primary_cover_url":243,"cover_blurhash":244,"first_publish_year":245,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":246,"authors":247,"genres":252,"series":266,"enrichment":267},"01kjvxssdfpzhjw109f2ah30vn","the-girl-on-the-train-simk","The Girl on the Train","Rachel Watson takes the same commuter train into London every morning, and every morning it pauses at the same signal, giving her a clear view of a house four doors down from the home she once shared with her ex-husband.

There are signs of a struggle in the living room, and as the hours pass with no word, the police and a ravenous national media begin to circle. Nick, evasive and strangely composed under the cameras, quickly becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.\n\nGillian Flynn tells the story in two alternating voices. Nick narrates the investigation from the present as suspicion tightens around him, while Amy's diary traces the couple's courtship and the slow souring of their marriage. The two accounts refuse to line up, and the widening gap between them keeps the reader guessing about who is lying, who is telling the truth, and what really happened on the anniversary.\n\nBeneath the missing-person case, Gone Girl is a caustic anatomy of a modern marriage and the performances it demands. Flynn dissects the roles spouses play for each other and for the outside world, the machinery of a media spectacle, and the resentments that accumulate when two clever, image-conscious people stop being honest with each other. Sharp, cynical, and ruthlessly plotted around a pair of unreliable narrators, it became one of the defining psychological thrillers of its era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktkx3dk6k3s6syphedc5mc2x.jpg?v=2f60cfe167","L35;,O~p%#-:MxIUM{Rj029GMxIV",2012,"3.75",486,[282],{"id":283,"slug":284,"name":285},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[287,288,289,290,291,292],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":19},43,"Domestic Thriller","domestic-thriller",[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":298,"themes":299,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,87],[169,300],"dual-timeline",{"id":302,"slug":303,"title":304,"description":305,"primary_cover_url":306,"cover_blurhash":307,"first_publish_year":308,"community_rating_avg":309,"community_rating_count":310,"page_count":311,"authors":312,"genres":318,"series":324,"enrichment":327},"01kjr6z62s19x7p1v3p5m1wzen","as-good-as-dead-7xp7","As Good As Dead","Pip Fitz-Amobi is supposed to be moving on. College is weeks away, the podcast that once thrilled her now feels like a burden, and the toll of her past cases has followed her home in ways she can barely admit. Then the messages start: an anonymous stalker leaving chalk figures and dead pigeons, asking a single chilling question. The police dismiss her fears, but Pip recognizes the pattern. It matches an old case she thought was long closed, and it is pointing straight at her.\n\nAs the threat closes in, Pip is forced to confront how far the justice she believes in has actually reached, and how much of herself she has lost chasing the truth for other people. This final book pushes her to a breaking point and asks what a good girl does when the system fails and the danger is personal.\n\nThe devastating conclusion to Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy trades tidy whodunit for something rawer and more morally fraught. It is a darker, more intense read than the earlier books, closing Pip's arc with choices that leave no one, including the reader, entirely comfortable.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjr6z62s19x7p1v3p5m1wzen.jpg","L48qNkae00-=-;ofIUax00of~WM_",2021,"4.25",4,464,[313,314],{"id":214,"slug":215,"name":216},{"id":315,"slug":316,"name":317},"01kkcrxqwsvyss408w4mxewyng","maria-carcamo-ramos-rhoe","María Cárcamo Ramos",[319,320,321,322,323],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[325],{"id":232,"slug":233,"name":206,"position":326,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"3.00",{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":235,"mood":328,"themes":329,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,87],[],{"id":331,"slug":332,"title":333,"description":334,"primary_cover_url":335,"cover_blurhash":336,"first_publish_year":337,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":338,"authors":339,"genres":341,"series":348,"enrichment":353},"01kjxg6bd1384ykd8hsjmsx8qp","sharp-objects-rktf","Sharp Objects","Camille Preaker, a reporter for a second-rate Chicago paper, is sent back to her small Missouri hometown of Wind Gap to cover the murder of one preteen girl and the disappearance of another.

Its narrator is unreliable in the most literal sense — her skin is a record of the words she has carved into it — and the mystery closes in on home.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktk6fjhry212cp16fw8ga0ga.jpg?v=072bd83903","L46RZ74nDjxu00?b%MV@~XD%IUj]",2007,333,[340],{"id":283,"slug":284,"name":285},[342,343,344,345,346,347],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[349],{"id":350,"slug":351,"name":352,"position":69,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvexxk13yh4zfwe9d1q6n7z7","gillian-flynns-novels-dcyb","Gillian Flynn's Novels",{"pace":354,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":355,"themes":356,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"moderate",[89,87],[169],{"id":358,"slug":359,"title":360,"description":361,"primary_cover_url":362,"cover_blurhash":363,"first_publish_year":364,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":365,"authors":366,"genres":371,"series":378,"enrichment":379},"01kjvg4qst74sp0pjn7g3mttsz","then-she-was-gone-6fg2","Then She Was Gone","Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter, fifteen, bright, adored, days from an idyllic summer, when she walked out one afternoon and simply never came home. A decade later her mother, Laurel, is a woman held together by habit: her marriage over, her other children distant, the case long cold.\n\nWhen Laurel meets Floyd, a warm and attentive man, in a London cafe, she is startled to feel alive again. But his youngest daughter, Poppy, is disquietingly precocious, and bears an unsettling resemblance to the girl Laurel lost. As Laurel is drawn deeper into Floyd's life, the coincidences multiply, and the truth about what happened to Ellie edges into view. Told through shifting perspectives, Lisa Jewell's bestselling thriller is a tense, emotionally raw story about a mother's love and the darkness that can hide behind an unremarkable front door.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksyb5e9d0f2kt8t9pk4y40a0.jpg","LA8g$uf6Irof_LjZWXkCyDaeoJoe",2017,384,[367],{"id":368,"slug":369,"name":370},"01kjvg4qvfqfzbz2pv00w757ze","lisa-jewell-7xfm","Lisa Jewell",[372,373,374,375,376,377],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":380,"themes":381,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[87,89,88],[],{"id":383,"slug":384,"title":385,"description":386,"primary_cover_url":387,"cover_blurhash":388,"first_publish_year":245,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":389,"authors":390,"genres":395,"series":402,"enrichment":403},"01kjwtb2f4zh5242b24y7b92c8","behind-closed-doors-ep3g","Behind Closed Doors","To everyone who knows them, Jack and Grace Angel are the perfect couple.

Grace is elegant and devoted, endlessly available to her husband and never, ever seen without him. Their friends are a little envious. What none of them can imagine is what waits on the other side of the Angels' beautiful front door.\n\nBecause behind closed doors, Grace's dream marriage is a meticulously constructed cage.

None of them has met their absent host, the elusive U. N. Owen, and as the boat that brought them departs, they settle in for what promises to be an unusual stay. After dinner on the first evening, a recorded voice fills the room, accusing every guest of having caused a death and escaped justice. Soon afterward, one of them dies. As a storm cuts the island off from the mainland, the remaining guests realize their deaths are being staged to mirror the verses of an old nursery rhyme that hangs framed in each bedroom. One by one, the survivors fall, and with no way to summon help and no sign of any other living soul, suspicion turns inward. Each person studies the others, certain that the killer is among them, while the rhyme counts steadily down. Trapped, watched, and unable to trust anyone, they must reckon with the secrets that brought them here even as the circle of the living shrinks. Christie builds a closed, methodical puzzle in which guilt, fear, and isolation press on every character, and the question is not only who will be next but how anyone could orchestrate such a sequence of deaths on a deserted island. It is a tightly constructed account of crime and consequence with no series detective to set things right.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksy9raxgnkqzkkte10snkk4f.jpg","LGCs{+-TD*bI00NfWDRj.Tt7%Mxu",1951,187,[919],{"id":920,"slug":921,"name":922},"01kjq7prh50ekz5eybgdhd9q51","agatha-christie-t6d5","Agatha Christie",[924,925,926,927,928,929],{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":510,"name":511,"slug":512,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":932,"themes":933,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[87,88,89],[93],{"key":935,"params":936,"works":937},"genre",{"genre":34},[938,952,978,993,1018,1046],{"id":272,"slug":273,"title":274,"description":275,"primary_cover_url":276,"cover_blurhash":277,"first_publish_year":278,"community_rating_avg":279,"community_rating_count":29,"page_count":280,"authors":939,"genres":941,"series":948,"enrichment":949},[940],{"id":283,"slug":284,"name":285},[942,943,944,945,946,947],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":950,"themes":951,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,87],[169,300],{"id":953,"slug":954,"title":955,"description":956,"primary_cover_url":957,"cover_blurhash":958,"first_publish_year":959,"community_rating_avg":960,"community_rating_count":120,"page_count":961,"authors":962,"genres":967,"series":974,"enrichment":975},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good. To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.30",442,[963],{"id":964,"slug":965,"name":966},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[968,969,970,971,972,973],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":193,"name":194,"slug":195,"is_fiction":18},{"id":254,"name":255,"slug":256,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":510,"name":511,"slug":512,"is_fiction":19},{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":532,"complexity":7,"audience":7,"mood":976,"themes":977,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,87,535],[],{"id":204,"slug":205,"title":206,"description":207,"primary_cover_url":208,"cover_blurhash":209,"first_publish_year":147,"community_rating_avg":210,"community_rating_count":120,"page_count":211,"authors":979,"genres":981,"series":988,"enrichment":990},[980],{"id":214,"slug":215,"name":216},[982,983,984,985,986,987],{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":223,"name":224,"slug":225,"is_fiction":19},{"id":227,"name":228,"slug":229,"is_fiction":19},[989],{"id":232,"slug":233,"name":206,"position":69,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":235,"mood":991,"themes":992,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[88,87,89],[],{"id":994,"slug":995,"title":996,"description":997,"primary_cover_url":998,"cover_blurhash":999,"first_publish_year":1000,"community_rating_avg":1001,"community_rating_count":120,"page_count":7,"authors":1002,"genres":1007,"series":1012,"enrichment":1013},"01ktszr9dq2em82ee0q7jpky5e","keep-it-in-the-family-tyzo","Keep It in the Family","When Mia and Finn buy a rundown fixer-upper in the Bedfordshire countryside, they think they are starting a hopeful new chapter — a first proper home, and maybe, after years of disappointment, a family. Then the renovations begin. A message scratched into the floorboards leads them up into the sealed attic, and to a discovery that turns their dream house into a crime scene and drags a decades-old horror into the present.\n\nAs the police begin to unpick what happened in the house long ago, John Marrs widens the story across several narrators: Mia and Finn in the present; Finn's watchful parents, Debbie and Dave, whose feelings about their new daughter-in-law run cold; and a pair of unsettling voices from the past and the margins whose testimony gradually explains the attic and the people who used it. The result is a portrait of a family, and a place, with something monstrous buried at its centre.\n\nDark even by Marrs's standards, Keep It in the Family is a twisty psychological thriller about inheritance, complicity, and the secrets houses keep. It is unflinching about its subject matter, building through overlapping timelines toward the full, disturbing truth of what was hidden behind the wall.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01ktszr9dq2em82ee0q7jpky5e.jpg?v=6586ba1565","L49*S?X:00n28wM_QRr=11Sj_4oe",2022,"3.80",[1003],{"id":1004,"slug":1005,"name":1006},"01knsz34b70zjv89qvabsbcvme","john-marrs-movx","John Marrs",[1008,1009,1010,1011],{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":19},{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":19},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":82,"complexity":7,"audience":85,"mood":1014,"themes":1016,"setting_period":7,"summary":1017,"content_warnings":7},[89,87,1015,826],"creepy",[300,270],"Mia and Finn buy a rundown house in the Bedfordshire countryside, hoping to start a family — until renovations uncover a message scratched into the floorboards and, behind a sealed attic wall, evidence of a decades-old horror.

Staying at a mysterious decagon house built by the late suspected murderer, they do not know what awaits them there. When the first club member turns up dead, and another are picked off one by one, the survivors grow desperate and paranoid. All they need are their murder-mystery expertise to get off the island alive.\n\n\"He had been suffering for months, and now his mind was focusing on one single, clearly defined goal. Everything had been planned. All he need to do now was to wait for them to walk into the trap. Death, it was the obvious punishment for all of them.\"\n\nStarted with the murderer's monologue to two separate narratives with two settings-- one on the island and another on the mainland, The Decagon House Murders is a psychological thriller of revenge, an excellent whodunnit with atmospheric nuances and ingenious plotting.\n\nThe characters are my favourite regardless how hysteric and annoying some are, I like that the author make it easy to remember by using their nicknames which based on famous mystery writers-- Carr, Van, Ellery, Agatha, Leroux etc (was actually really into Conan and Poe!). Love every inch of the murderer's plan-- still clueless even until the last chapter, and the twist really makes me go baffled. A thrilling plot development and character's dynamic, that 'revenge in the name of judgement'-- crafty and wicked with brilliant narrative exposition.\n\nThe motive might be a bit dramatic but I tried to put myself into the murderer's shoes and somehow I think the epilogue did wrapped up his (I'm giving out a hint by using 'his' here) feeling and thoughts quite well. \n\nThinking of getting more Japanese honkaku mystery novels next time, and if you love locked-room mystery fiction, do go and pick this one up. Totally a page-turner for me and I think it'll be one of my all-time faves too! \n\nThanks Pansing Distribution for gifting me a review copy of this book in return of an honest review!","none","rv-01kr82jqrbsv04ew475wp8pw4x",[],"2026-05-10T04:33:27.000000Z"]
