speculativebecky 's review for:
The Girl with a Clock for a Heart
by Peter Swanson
As thrillers often do, this book alternated between two interwoven stories. In this case, we got to see the present and past of the protagonist, and his relationship with a young woman he falls in love with in college and how he becomes involved with her later in life as her criminal lifestyle is catching up with her. I found the alternating story line to be frustrating, it felt like it made the book more of a page turner (one of the stories was more compelling than the other at any given moment) without being necessary, since the information of the past story was hidden from the reader but not from the characters in the story. Furthermore, I was unsatisfied with the place in the story where the reader was dropped off. The characters were really interesting and I wanted more time with them and more resolution.
