This was very handy on a recent sleepless night - although it kind of reinforced the sleeplessness! i keep reading the word "propulsive" in reviews and I think that might apply here. Short but challenging, with narrators who are not necessarily believable and a setting in our very recent past - a long Melbourne COVID lockdown. Highly recommended, but not for lovers of "fluffy bunny" stories. Hard to say any more without giving away some carefully plotted twists.
