This review contains spoilers.
An odd choice. Strangulation comprises a clear departure from the whodunit nature of Decapitation. There is no thrilling search for the murderer. Instead, our protagonist silently figures it all out and decides to impart said knowledge to the reader toward the end. It’s not that it wasn’t enjoyable at all, yet it felt contrived and cheap. Unlikely twist after unlikely twist with strange motives and even stranger revelations. I was left with so many questions. How can a girl fall madly in love with a guy who doesn’t even remember her existence? How can the friends of said girl surmise that he’s trouble—a defective product—or whatever else strange wording the author chose out of thin air? How can petty jealousy over this guy having the same air [sic] as a friend drive this girl to murder said friend? It’s all unfathomably implausible—perchance even preternatural.
