Anna O by Matthew Blake

Anna O by Matthew Blake.

Thank you Netgalley and Harper Collins for the arc for an unbiased review.

The synopsis for this book is fairly minimal, and in many ways, having read the book I can see why. It might put some readers off, not having much to go on, other than an absorbing thriller (which I felt it was), and a small amount of blurb, yet it is a book that has so many twists and turns, I imagine trying to even explain what this book is about in a limited synopsis scenario wouldn't be easy. 

But just what was it about this book that I found so gripping? 

The premise as a whole was just something that brought a different angle on the mystery of how and why Anna did what she did, and why she was still asleep. 

The problem is how do I expand the review without giving much away, because it was so cleverly crafted in my opinion. What I will say, is we have multiple points of view, including diary entries from Anna's past.

The plot did have a lot going on, but I didn't ever feel as it it was convoluted. This won't be to everyone's taste, but if twisty, dark thriller mysteries are something you enjoy, you should definitely read this book. 

After the end, it took me a while just to absorb everything and look back to see what clues I saw, and what I might've missed. Or the ones I saw but realised my hypothesis was wrong. 

A book I will love to own, and highly recommend. I'd also be giving this book out to friends and family. 

Easily 5/5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
