3.5
It was a fast and entertaining read, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the first half and the double narration.
However, the main character was irritating all through the book, narrow minded and judgemental.
But what very disappointed me was the second half. I wasn't very surprised by any of the twists (I saw most of them coming) but they were for some of them not credible at all, especially because there were too many of them. The ending ended up feeling stupid. The author should care more about writing a good story rather than pulling as many twists that he thinks he can get away with.
