Hieroglyphics is a story of four interconnected people - Shelly a single mother, her son Harvey who is a little quirky and currently has an obsession with serial killers, Frank an old man who used to live in Shelly’s house, and Frank’s wife Lil. It’s novel that explores loss, memory, and death. Definitely a quieter, character-driven novel with rewards for the patient and attentive reader as characters slowly reveal more of their pasts.

I felt so connected to some of the main characters,jennikreads's review against another edition
The story just was not for me. There too much conversation about murders and things that go bump in the night and it was spiking my anxiety.
