MY REVIEW :
This novel is a perfect psychological thriller and a real page-turner. When I went through the blurb, it’s made me so enthusiastic to read it further. The story develops through perceptive of the ten victims, the reader could easily get to know more of them. The use of the nursery rhyme to warn the victims that everyone would end up in death was so intriguing and gripping. The reader can suspect each one in this story as the murderer until the suspected one perishes. As the story progress reader got confused that who would be the unknown killer. At the end the author declares it and we got astonished by the magnificent writing style of the author. Being classic thriller words used were tough for the readers.
MY RATING :
If the reader is a great observer, then he/she could suspect the real murderer when it reaches almost the middle of the story so my rating would be 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.
