Parts of this I enjoyed, but I really didn’t like the characters and I felt the story too convoluted. I won’t remember this a few months from now

The best thing about this book was that it reignighted my love of watching Hitchcock. Reading this…meh. Love the idea and even some of the storyline was great. But as the protagonist said, Hitchcock did tote on the differnce between a mystery and a “thriller” (he used suspense). Hitchcok said, “The secret Hitchcock maintained, was to let the audience in on the secret, the ticking bomb. In that way, instead of five seconds of surprise, you’ve created five minutes of suspense.” Maybe Wrobel should have taken this advice to heart?
