natyjaeger 's review for:

A Beautiful Crime by Christopher Bollen
4.0

I received an advanced copy via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

My first ARC finished this year! And a really good one, too. This book is a wonderful mystery to read in a rainy afternoon - this character-oriented story follows two young men in love as they plan the scam that will save them from financial ruin. I loved how atmospheric this was, and it's definitely not a quick thriller kind of book - it's one to savor slowly and get emotionally connected to the main characters, understand their motivations. I loved it - it was very The Talented Mr Ripley, charming and romantic, even. The ending had me SO ANXIOUS. Great read.
