darkangeldaria 's review for:

Darling Jim by Christian Mørk
3.0

I really wanted to like this one. I grabbed it from our local library when they did a $5 for a bag of books sale because the back sounded so interesting.

My review really echoes many of the points previous reviews have noted. The sisters are given very little agency, and the suspension of disbelief required to push the narrative is hard to swallow. Especially for me as true crime/forensic history are huge points of interest for me.

The setting was interesting, I enjoyed the mythos of things, but beyond that it's not something I'll be clamoring to read again or recommending to others. Was very, meh.
