Every chapter is every other chapter. Okay, maybe that was a little harsh. Perhaps we can chalk it up to the very monotone audiobook.
Gord Stewart is a movie location scout who moonlights as a private investigator during the slow season. When his boss asks him to search for her missing-presumed-dead uncle, he sets off across Canada in search of the man.
On the hunt, Gord is met with a new love interest, the jarring realization of how often middle-aged men commit suicide, the dark side of PI work, and ultimately, having to decide what kind of man he is.
Even though this fell flat for me, I still wanted to know how the story ended. And at the end of the day, that says something. Maybe (definitely) don’t listen to the audiobook though.
Graphic: Suicide
Minor: Violence, Sexual assault, and Rape
