Dead to Her
by Sarah Pinborough
The only review of this book that I read was very bad, so I went in with low expectations, and my expectations were met.
The exposition drags out for two thirds of the story, over 200 pages of dull domestic stuff. No intricate web of social elite drama and hidden secrets, no devious woman trying to keep her husband in line with psychological manipulation, but we got like seven mentions of how Marcie isn't racist because she won't treat Keisha nicely like others.
The actual mystery wasn't bad, but not worth reading through all those dull chapters of exposition. The relationships were all so inconceivable and badly written. No one had any genuine emotions for another person, or if the did they showed it through being attracted to a third party?
This would've been way better if it was 200 pages or so with only quarter of it as exposition.
