The Accomplice
by Lisa Lutz
***“I think whatever those two are, it’s not normal.”***
Luna was a friend of Irene, Owen’s murdered wife, they went running together numerous times. They had morning coffee together, at Luna’s home. One lazy morning, Irene comes for a cup of hot coffee and starts talking about Owen having an affair. Luna listens but she is kinda shocked about it because Owen tells her everything, anyway Irene drinks her coffee and goes for a run.
That night Luna and Owen met at a bar, he admits of having an affair with one of his students. Gross. He asks Luna to text Irene to run together in the morning, so she can check up on her because she hasn’t come home yet. Luna sends the text which goes unanswered.
The next morning Luna goes to the cemetery to wait for Irene, that’s the location of their morning runs, but finds her dead in a ditch, shot. She runs to Owen and calls 911. Why she called the police from Owen’s house and not her own? Since Luna’s home was closer to the crime scene.
What’s annoying about this story is that it runs in two separate plans, one is the present moment and the second one goes to their uni days, the beginning of their weird and secretive friendship.
Although, I like their dynamic and I like that the detectives are super suspicious of them. Adds to the whole element of mystery that drives this book further.
The entire book I’ve felt that Owen and Luna aren’t attracted to each other for good reasons. Like their friendship, and mind you: it’s just friendship, is sick and twisted so in this department the book rocked the thriller mystery genre. But I don’t like Owen, Luna isn’t so awesome either but she had a hard life and I get that, some twists come along the way but the book isn’t fast paced.
Although, I did enjoyed it because I couldn’t put it down, it’s eerie not pleasurable.
