So good, couldn’t put it down. Not gonna lie, there were so many plot twists I couldn’t keep up with most of them. The actress and Frank had chemistry despite not having that much interaction. The final twist got me good - but most importantly it gives a reason to re-read the book. With fresh eyes, it puts a new meaning onto her actions and his and theirs, with hindsight the clues were somewhat there, her acting method was referenced throughout the book. Take note it’s in three acts as well, mimicking Greek tragedy, taking inspiration from the very works it follows, modernizing the concepts with an almost self-aware tone. I don’t usually like mystery, and in all respects, this is presented as a thriller, but at its core, it’s a well-executed murder mystery. And I love it.
