This audiobook lasts 12 hours and 35 minutes and was written by the murderer; it is a sort of diary written in retrospect. Time and again, it makes you wonder who is telling the truth, what the true nature of friendship is, how loyal children are, and above all, it raises questions about the role of the law and the police, and whether, as a bystander, you should offer a helping hand at all. If you ask me, the answer is no! It baffles me it only received 2 stars.

I love crazy stories like this, where what the narrator tells us turns out to be something entirely different from the truth! I've just finished two K-dramas with a similar plot. They misdirect you and make you think it's one thing, and even when you know there's going to be a plot twist, you still end up thinking, 'Hey, what just happened?!' or 'They got me again.' I've never enjoyed being gaslighted so much, haha!

I didn't watch K-drama for a long time. Which one did you watch? Perhaps something once it is winter again.
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

Mousetrap and Notes from the Last Row. You must watch these two if you have the chance to. I actually reluctant to watch the first one because I don't like the male actor and the second one seemed meh too me. It looked like some domestic midlife crisis story to me and I hate to be reminded of my own midlife status too. Then when I started it, I can't stop watching.
Wow, 12+ hours is a long listen, but hearing it straight from the murderer's perspective makes it worth it. Definitely deserves more than 2 stars for how deep it is.
