A review by clmckinney
The Confession by Jessie Burton

4.0

I like Jessie Burton's books. She has a knack with unraveling mysteries and plot twists that make for good fiction. There are only two complaints that I have for this book. The first is that I find fault with coincidences in novels. It feels cheap to me. I don't like things just falling into place. I don't feel like it reflects real life. The second is that near the end, things got too schmaltzy for me. The relationships developed too fast and lacked plausible closeness. With that said, I would give this one a 3.9/5.
