A very slow read that becomes a page turner near the end. I wished it wasted less time with young roderick being clueless or had developed other, more interesting, characters further. As it is, this is an unreliable but also boring narrator story about an unhinged murderous man.

I was more taken by

his sister suicide

than I was his whole story
