First Born by Will Dean
5.0

First things first, before you go into a Will Dean book it’s best to know as little as possible so I think all you need to know here is that Molly and Katie are twins and when Katie gets murdered in NYC Molly leaves England to go and try to see what happened with her sister. I swear that’s it but doesn’t it still sound really good?! 

Much like the authors last book this was a total binge read and it had me in its clutches from page one. I will say that compared to the second half the first one is on the slower side but I was never bored. Things just take a big turn halfway and then it went from a good read to a great read for me so if you happen to start this and wonder if it picks up, it does for sure! Not much else I can say without spoilers but I highly recommend this for fans of clever and twisty thrillers. You may need to suspend disbelief at some plot points, but when a story is addictive as this one is it’s worth it!
