Redder Days by Sue Rainsford
dark
tense
fast-paced
3.5
This isn’t the usual style of book that I would read, which at times made it a challenge to understand what I was reading.
The author drops you straight into the story. There is no scene setting, or character building. Each chapter is told from the perspective of each of the various characters. However, each one is an unreliable narrator, so we are left to piece together the story from what each one does and doesn’t tell us.
Once I’d settled into the rhythm and style of the writing I enjoyed it. But the ending was predictable and the inevitable conclusion.
I was between 3 and 3.5 stars and ultimately bumped it up as I feel like it’s a personal preference that I didn’t enjoy the style of the book.
