The Forgiven by Lawrence Osborne
2.0
While on the way to a party in the Moroccan desert, David and Jo Henniger have an accident. It is the middle of the night and two men approach David and Jo in their car. David caught off guard swerves and hits one of the men. The other man takes off running into the desert. David and Jo put the dead man's body in the trunk of their car and make their way to their destination. It is not long after they arrive that word spreads about what David and Jo did.
I was excited to pick up this book and start reading it. I kind of feel like this was a bad Halloween joke. I just stumbled me way along through this book and not continuously. I would skim it or even jump forward several chapters and than start reading again. I found the pacing of this story to be extremely slow. Too much so for my liking. I might have been singing a different song if I had liked the characters but none of them were that interesting. There were too many descriptive details. Reading this book I felt like I was sitting in the office with a psychologist. Overall, this book was not my cup of tea.
