Joe is back at it again, endeavouring to be a nice guy in order to impress his newest fixation, a librarian who’s living a Gilmore Girls-esque life. In this cat-and-mouse thriller, you'll continue to question why you relate to Joe, hoping he won’t get caught, simply because Caroline Kepnes writes him as if he believes that he is a righteous hero. This book certainly subverts expectations in a grippingly suspenseful way that will keep you guessing until the very last page." Xavier, Dymocks Waurn Ponds
