A review by mariaeileen
Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh

dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

The book is quite slow paced to begin with, the story doesn’t really pick up till the third chapter and I’m not quite a fan of the stream of conscience style of writing used in the book which is why this book has a lower rating.

Otherwise I really like the way Otessa Moshfegh tackles certain themes in the book, including the death of the protagonists partner.
