A review by bgg616
The Carrier by Sophie Hannah
2.0
I was tempted a few times to discard this book but persevered because I liked Sophie Hannah's other books. This was a 2 1/2 star book for me. I bumped it up to 3 but then lowered it to 2 after writing the review reminded me how little I liked it. The ending, though "tidy" made me wonder why it took almost 500 pages to get there.
The story revolves around a man, Tim, who confesses to killings his disabled wife but won't give a reason. There is another woman, Gaby, who is or maybe isn't part of a triangle. But in the end I really didn't care about Tim or Gaby. They deserved one another. The psychological part of this thriller centered on the fact that the wife was a horrible person who became paralyzed and unable to speak after a stroke. I just wondered why the people who surrounded her got involved with her to begin with. Life may be too short to read books this long with so little to offer.
