I don't know how the heck this ended up in my want to read and it's one of the most bizarre books I've read. It's not bad but not much of a plot it's more of the MMC inner monologue. I don't even know. What a weird book!

So good, so dark. Read in <24 hours. No one does misanthropy and misogyny and snobbery AND suspense better. I'd read the version of this story told from the wife's perspective AND the daughter's.
