Burial by Neil Cross

4.0

This book was kind of a slow burn.

I'm reading it in anticipation of watching the TV series version "The Sister."

The author spent quite a lot of time in the "interim years", but it was never boring. Well, mostly never boring. The author kept putting in little bits and pieces of how the burial affected the main characters life in these interim years.

When he got close to the dead girl's parents (if you've seen the copious previews for the show, this is not a spoiler), and was thinking Elise thoughts... that was gutting. Over and over and over.

The last 100 pages really ramped up and had a very satisfying, if a somewhat Hollywood-happy, ending.

I'll definitely be reading more from this author.
