3.0

I do not understand what people love about this book. I found the writing difficult to follow, the story unnecessarily uncomplicated and the ending unsatisfying. 

I just wanted to read a fast paced mystery/thriller and what I got was a tediously paced pseudo-spy novel where everything happens but also nothing really happens …. 

My main takeaway is that three lines would be a lovely place to spend a weekend / who TF is Ruth and the duck and why were they mentioned so often with no context?!!
