A review by criminolly
A Simple Plan by Scott Smith

5.0

I first read this when it came out in the 90s and remembered it being great. The reread confirmed that, it’s such a gripping, relentless book. It has the dark vibe of an EC comic, great prose and memorable characters. It’s also somehow kind of timeless, its themes are so strong and relevant that it feels like it could have been written last week rather than 30 years ago.
