A review by bookaddictlt
The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson

2.0

I had high expectations for this book. Having really enjoyed Swanson’s The Kind Worth Killing, I was looking forward to this one. I was disappointed. The more I thought about this book the less I liked it… and the less I like The Kind Worth Killing on reflection. Mainly because the basic orchestrations of the two books were exactly the same.

I can’t tell you too much of why I didn’t love this book without spoiling it and as it’s a thriller I’m going to do my best to not spoil it. I will say that it expects the reader to suspend reality a few too many times, the way Swanson depicts women is… not great, and the narration often feels thrown together to make the outcome work.

I’m not saying don’t read this, but I also wouldn’t rush to make sure you do. There are many other better thrillers out there.
