A review by scherzo
Depths by Laurie Thompson, Henning Mankell
2.0
Kristian Tacker escapes from a Swedish asylum in Chapter 1; she is confused about her husband; then is found by the warders late the same night in Chapter 2. I wanted to know why she was in an asylum.
So I stick with Kritian's psychopathic/sociopathic/?? husband for hundreds of pages (very short chapters, thankfully) while he lies, hits, deceives, attacks, deludes, kills, manipulates, despises, etc. everyone he encounters.
Some elements of the movie Gaslight, but nowhere near as mesmerizing.
