I was immediately fascinated when the book author was represented as high up of a crime thriller author as Ruth Ware. I was very keen to get my hands on the first few chapters after reading the blurb because it was so engaging and matter of fact. It drew the reader in very quickly, as did the front cover. Without reading the blurb I wouldn't recognise it as a thriller because "French girl" doesn't scream sinister but after the first few paragraphs it explains about how the French girl was dead in a well and it seems as if there are only 6 suspects involved. It became a little bit slow as it tried to get all characters involved in a phone chain but I think given the right mood I would get into this book instantly but at the same time it has the potential to be one of the books I can both be enthralled by but also not mind taking breaks in between reading.
