After reading The Housemaids secret, I picked up The Teacher expecting another fast-paced psychological thriller.. And I didnt get disappointed.
At times, the book genuinely made me feel dizzy. Not because it was difficult to read, but because every time I began trusting a character or believing I had figured things out, another layer unfolded... the story quietly pulls the ground from beneath your feet.
Just when I thought I had finally figured everything out, another twist came along. And when I was sure there couldn't possibly be any more, there was yet another one. This keeps happening almost till the very last page.
The book reminded me how quickly we look for a hero and a villain in a story. But the truth is often far more complicated. Sometimes we don't know enough to judge, and sometimes what seems obvious is the biggest illusion of all.
If there's one thing I've learnt after reading a few of Freida McFadden's books, it is this: never assume you've solved the mystery until you've turned the last page.
