I tried several times to get through the first chapter of this novel, only to freak out about the subject matter covered in the first few pages. Eventually, I skimmed that first chapter with one eye closed and finally got to the last paragraph…which got me hooked immediately. I couldn’t put it down after that. This is one weird, wild story, anchored on a murder trial that unravels with each witness’s testimony. I ended up loving this story because it was so captivating, despite its truly dark themes.
