Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney

2.0

Not the worst thriller I've read, but that isn't saying much for a genre wildly oversaturated with books where the author had an inkling of an idea for a plot twist, and then wrote a book around it without properly fleshing it out.

I was mostly going along for the ride until the husband tried to claim that he didn't realize he was fucking his wife's friend and not his wife because he has face blindness. There is no universe in which you can't tell by conversation, body type, mannerisms, and smell that you're with the wrong partner unless you are totally whacked out on drugs. It's like saying blind people can't be guilty of cheating because how could they ever know who they are with. It's insane.

I did really like that you find out that he was the one who actually killed his mom. All of the characters were unhinged so I didn't really care who ended up with who, which made this more relaxing than it was probably intended to be.
