sapphrite 's review for:

Nine Lives by Peter Swanson
1.0
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really did not like this book. Just the fact that the main characters motivation made almost no sense to me. How he was able to pull off so many complicated murders without being caught was also astounding. Especially when police were nearby for most of them. I get the guy is rich but the amount of connections he has is insane. Also the use of the n-word and the r-word were completely unnecessary. When I got to those parts I thought this book must have been written much earlier than 2022.
