dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Finally, a kidnapping/murder mystery entwined with complex parent-child relationships for men! Just kidding. But really it was a novel experience for me to read a murder mystery where the main character has anxiety about being a shitty dad. Maybe that's on me for refusing to read mysteries penned by men other than Grady Hendrix. Anyway, I love a ghost and a freaky little kid and fucked up parent dynamics. Worth reading for sure.
