The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson

3.0

While I enjoyed this book, I can't really give it much more than 3.5 stars. Before reading this book I read, [b:The Kind Worth Killing|21936809|The Kind Worth Killing|Peter Swanson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1417981750s/21936809.jpg|41240456] which is also by Peter Swanson, and I enjoyed it, so I thought I would give this one a try. And although I liked this, I found it to be so similar is pace and story, as well as having similar character motives and qualities, however in this, the characters were far less developed, and far less likable. I have noticed a theme in reviews about not being able to feel for main character, George, and the reviews are right, there simply isn't much to him, he is neither likable or detestable, and the only things that at really known about him, is that he is loyal and is obsessed. Neither of this qualities are all that interesting. If I had read this one first, or maybe had read a few novels in between, there is a possibility I would have rated this higher, but as it stands, 3.5.
