Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I should have known better. When I saw the reviewer comparing this book to “Gone Girl” and “Girl on a Train,” I should have moved on to another book. Because the reviewer was correct. This “thriller” is just as pointless and irritating as those. There is little or no explanation for the actions of the protagonist or the other characters, none of whom resemble real people; I could find no reason to care what happened to any of them. The plot seems strained, barely held together, and the action sort of “limps” to the conclusion. I thought the entire book just silly. I apologize for the rant. But I cannot understand these editorial reviewers giving such glowing recommendations to such unworthy pieces of writing.
