I Love You More by Jennifer Murphy
3.0
This book was okay.
Oliver Lane is a sociopath. Who has 3 kids. And 3 different wives - Diana, Jewels, and Bert.
Surprise surprise, Oliver Lane ends up dead by gunshot wound.
But, who actually pulled the trigger?
This book is told in 3 different perspectives - Diana's daughter, Picasso, an 11 year old who is just... overly precocious, Detective Kennedy, one of the two homicide detectives that live on the island where the murder took place, and "The Wives."
Again, Picasso was okay, but the narration just didn't seem right for an 11 year old. Detective Kennedy was... again, okay. I'm not sure how many detectives decide that getting emotionally involved is more important than a murder investigation. There was also some "choice vocabulary" that I found unnecessary and seemed out of place. I liked "the wives" chapters - it was just a very interesting "we."
The reader goes through most of the book with the idea that you know (almost) exactly who pulled the trigger and what the book about is the how and the fallout, but there are a couple of nice twists.
