I loved the book, because it was a mystery book and i like mystery. When I read the first pharagraph I had to keep on reading because I was so curious of what was going to happen next. I definitely recomment this book if you like mystery books.

It's hard to believe that someone could've done this to an innocent person. Friends can't choose to one than the other. How do we know that he's telling the truth.

The limited perspective is hard to read. The plot tends to be a bit predictable.

Realistic character development

[Heber Martinez · Rating 4 out of 5]

sometimes people think they are in a certain place because god wanted you to be there. This book has a lot to be with being at the wrong place at the wrong time, we feel lucky when random events happen wherever we are, well in this book we have a character call Vincent that wishes he never stepped inside the Gas station. Is weird when we are placed in a position were we can't defend ourselves, There can be unexpected evidence that we never prepared for. I can make many connections to the real world, because everyone knows the rules and everyone views police a certain way. It would be so hard to be that person that gets convicted for being one of the suspect by standing in the crime scene right when it happened.
