I mean, if you're going to write a "thriller," it should pretty much thrill, and this one just didn't. Third, and what really gets me, is that everything happens and falls into place so unrealistically easily in this novel that there was no challenge whatsoever in the reading. Second, this novel is so over-the-top violent that it was not at all a pleasure to read. Not that that hasn't happened with me and crime novels more than a few times, but so early into the game just really wrecks things beyond repair, and nothing after that point made me even question my guess. Here we have a revenge thriller with psychopath mortician/loving mommy in the leading role, and I just flat out didn't care for it.įirst of all, I figured out the BIG reveal so early into the story that it was just a matter of waiting for the end to prove myself right. Every so often I come across a book that just doesn't do it for me at all.
