Creepy and uncomfortable, but still an ok read. Nothing great, certainly, but a decent way to pass the time. Writing is decent, character development ok. All in all, decent to mediocre. Can't really recommend.

3.5*

A Version Of The Truth will not be quite what you expect it to be seems the likely outcome. So it's quite difficult to review without spoilers. 

I can say that I started this book yesterday evening then stayed up until 2am to finish it - it grips you in unexpected ways and for unexpected reasons. I do believe this may end up being a marmite book. Ultimately I decided it was clever. Its certainly fairly graphic and endlessly fascinating. 

I can't say I liked any of the characters at all even before it became clear that one of them was quite simply evil personified. All them had their charm but all of them had their irritating edges - it made for an intriguing and genuinely absorbing read.

I'm not being very helpful of this I'm aware. Still, give too much away and you ruin that which makes this good. So y'all will just have to cope 

Recommended. Then you can tell me what you think.

Sorry, but I didn't enjoy this book at all, it didn't have any 'grab' factor for me and I certainly wouldn't call it a mystery.

I did a lot of skim reading towards the end and based on this I wouldn't recommend this book.

I thought this book was probably the weirdest book I have ever read! The whole storyline was horrible and it was a big mess involving sex. I continued reading it because I thought somehow it would get better but it just became more strange! This definitely isn’t a a thriller or a mystery either. I have no idea what the hell it falls under!

I received an advance reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

This book is as just weird as shit. The 2019 plot didn’t interest me in the slightest, but I kept reading through to see the outcome of the Oxford sexcapades. You knew the bad dude was a bad dude right away. It’s like an ebook caliber “Secret History” crossed with a super-basic thriller. Weird, right?
