Greatest book ever

I use to not like to read but this book changed that. This book has murderer & Suicide and plenty of action. theres never a dull moment in this book. A body falling into a windshield caught my eye Immedietly. That is why this my favorite book ever.

A kid hits a hits a guy who was either pushed or fell.

I think this book was very interesting and is a mystery I like the sudden twists in it . I really liked it. I liked the plot it was very interesting the characters were good and the setting and theme were also good.

Chilling, exciting, Great book

This book was very exciting, it kept the hair rising on the back of my neck throughout the whole book. Roberts wrote it in a way that kept you guessing and wondering what would happen next, making you want to turn the page but kind of afraid to.
