All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

4.0

dark mysterious slow-paced

That was an interesting take on the thriller/crime story, it was definitely more character driven than most in the genre. The writing was really well done, unexpectedly lush and beautiful, and I liked that we were lead through this sweeping tale linearly (I feel like most thrillers these days jump around in time so I’m glad this one avoided the impulse). I did think it was too long, the middle felt bloated and some of the twists and turns felt unnecessary and ultimately confusing. I also disliked how short the chapters were, it was a bit jarring to constantly have minute long chapters via audio. But the ending was satisfying and I do think these characters will stick with me for a while. A read worth the investment!
