The 50/50 killer preys on couples. He manipulates their love for each other and makes them play a game. He stalks them, tortures them and then forces them to choose. What is going to break first? Their will or their love for each other? Only two things are certain: One of them will die. And the other will have killed them.
At the beginning of each chapter the reader is given the date and the time in relation to dawn. Before I got to know the characters and realise who was who, this didn't mean much to me. However, as the book moves on and it becomes a race against time it added to the sense of urgency. I also liked how each chapter was a different character, written in the first person. I had mixed feelings about the epilogue, feeling that one of the victims was being let down by a character I'd liked. However, I could also see that maybe it would be a good outcome for the people involved after their own personal experiences. Overall, an original and interesting thriller with a couple of really good twists.
