Reviews

[Lorena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ich wusste die ganze Zeit nicht wer den Mord begannen hat und daher war es bis zum Schluss sehr spannend. Aber das Ende hab ich zuerst nicht ganz verstanden aber im Nachhinein ergibt es viel Sinn und passt gut

[Lea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked the three stories. They each had a different plot and were different in suspense. The second one was my favorite. It had some really good twists and you could really make your own assumptions about what's going to happen and who did what.
It was easier to identify yourself with the main characters than in the other two stories, I think.
