The Secret History by Donna Tartt
5.0
This is the second time around I read this book and I must that I was even more mesmerised this time around. All the quirks and subtle things become so much clearer, making the plot even more intriguing and alluring. The major strength of the book is the characters, and although all of them, and I really mean all of them, are a bunch of assholes, you can't help but love all and every one of them.
You get to learn on the very first page about the murder that the book depicts, yet, the suspense is kept throughout the book. The first half of the book describes the characters and how this murder comes to be while the second half is a magnificent description of the psychology and guilt (or lack of) of these truly despicable characters. By all means, well worth the read.
