The Intoxicating Mr Lavelle by Neil Blackmore

dark sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

Honestly kind of terrible. At least it read wuickly but the characters made no sense and were terrible. Lavelle only got redeemed in death and then Benjamin is left in desolation.

Edgar kills himself because apparently he is on a downward spiral even though this never actually gets discussed until he’s dead.

Just badly-written and poorly-developed.
