*4 stars*
A fun and addictive surprise...
Brief review: After a slower start, this ended up being quite a good read with various twists and surprises—each one well-paced and cleverly-constructed.
The writing style is straightforward and unembellished, but strong and clear and delivers this story well.
This isn’t a heart pounding, race-to-the-finish experience, but a tame psychological voyage that entices you with its mystery and enchants you with its design.
Fans of the genre should certainly give this one a read when in the mood for a more humble thriller with mystery and mind play.
*Traveling Friends Read — special thanks to Norma for discussing this one to pieces with me ;)
